Much suggests that the two deceased persons found in the burned-out car in Malmö are two British men who were reported missing on Monday.
Interpol is, according to British police, involved in the case.
The British Foreign Office writes in a comment to TT that they are in contact with Swedish authorities and that they support the families of the missing men.
British police say they continue to have contact with the police in Sweden and with Interpol to determine if the British men were the ones in the burned-out car.
"We continue to have contact with Swedish police and Interpol to establish whether the two deceased men in Malmö are related to the two men reported missing in north London on July 15," writes Metropolitan Police in an email to TT.
Unclear about crime connection
The British police do not want to say whether the men are linked to any type of crime in the UK.
Swedish police have not wanted to comment on whether Interpol is involved in the case, but have only confirmed that they are working together with foreign police.
The persons who were in the car have not yet been formally identified, but Swedish police say they have an idea of who they might be.
That's correct, but it would be wrong of us to take anything for granted before the forensic examinations are complete, says Kerstin Gossé, press spokesperson for the police in Malmö.
We can neither deny nor confirm it. We cannot comment on age, gender or nationality.
The police want tips
The police have appealed for tips about the burned-out car, which was a Danish-registered Toyota RAV4. They have also stated that the two deceased persons, who were in the car, were not Danish citizens.
Since it was a Danish-registered car, several people thought they were Danes. That's why we chose to release information that they are not Danes, Gossé said earlier to TT.
The police are investigating the incident as murder and have set up a special investigation team with analysts and investigators.
The burned-out car has been seized and the bodies will be examined by forensic medicine.
No one is yet suspected.
