Sweden: Authorities investigating possible killing of foreign nationals in Malmo as of July 18

As of July 18, officials are almost certain to investigate the disappearance and possible killing of UK nationals in Sweden following the discovery of two bodies on the Fosie industrial estate in Malmo on July 14. Preliminary reports indicate the victims, who owned the Empire Holidays travel agency, hired a car in Copenhagen, Denmark, on the morning of July 14 before immediately driving to Sweden. Emergency crews in Sweden subsequently discovered two bodies with gunshot wounds in the burnt-out vehicle in Malmo on the afternoon of July 14. The victims were only reported missing on July 15 when they failed to return to the UK. No information has been released on the exact location or motivation behind the incident, with Swedish and UK authorities not confirming the identities of the victims or a suspect. While some media reports suggest the victims were carjacked while still in Denmark, police are yet to confirm this information. Further details on the incident will likely be made available in the coming days.
