Men found dead in burned-out car in Sweden were missing British pair | World News


Two men found dead in a burned-out car in Sweden were British nationals, officials say.

Juan Cifuentes and Farooq Abdulrazak were reported missing in July after failing to return home from a business trip to Denmark and Sweden.

Swedish prosecutors say they have now identified remains as belonging to the two men.

The car was found in Malmo, with Swedish media reporting that at least one of the victims was shot before the vehicle was set on fire.

According to reports at the time, the Britons had rented a Toyota Rav 4 at Copenhagen Airport before it was found a burnt-out shell around 2pm local time on 7 July.
