Two British men have been reported missing in Sweden, the Foreign Office has said.
It comes after Swedish police said two people were found dead in a burned-out car on Sunday afternoon in Malmö, with the deaths being investigated as a suspected double murder.
Asked about the incident, a Foreign Office spokesperson told the BBC: “We are supporting the families of two British men reported missing in Sweden and are in touch with the local authorities.”
Police spokesman Patrtic Sors told the BBC he would not confirm the identity of the two men after reports in local media that they were believed to be British citizens, with more forensic testing to take place Wednesday morning.
Mr Sors said he believed a British man had rented the car, a black Danish-registered Toyota Rav 4, at an airport in Denmark hours before the bodies were discovered in the Fosie industrial area of Malmö.
Police are interested in any information and observations the public may have made of the car and the scene between 11:30 local time (10:30 BST) and 14:00 local time (13:00 BST) on Sunday.
