Two murder victims who were reportedly shot dead before being found in a burnt-out car in Sweden are British, according to local media.
Police have launched a double-murder investigation after they discovered two people dead on Sunday afternoon, in the Fosie industrial area of Malmo.
Responding to reports of a fire, emergency services only discovered the bodies as they were putting the blaze out, local media reported.
Emergency workers on the site were said to have noticed what could have been a bullet hole in one of the victims, they added.
Swedish media have said that both victims were British nationals and at least one was shot dead before the fire.
According to reports, the Britons had rented the Toyota Rav 4 at Copenhagen Airport, Denmark, before it was found a burnt-out shell around 2pm local time in Malmo.
Local police are interviewing witnesses and appealing to the public for any help, while Interpol is also reportedly said to be involved.
The Swedish Police Authority said: "The two people who were found dead in a burnt-out car on Sunday afternoon have not yet been identified.
"The bodies are being examined by forensic medicine.
"The incident is currently being investigated as a murder.
"Several witnesses have been interviewed and the police are interested in further observations and tips."
