Two British men who have gone missing were captured on CCTV while renting a car at Copenhagen airport.
Their vehicle was later discovered in Sweden, burned out, with two bodies inside.
Authorities are now searching for a third person who was reportedly seen with them, but appears to have avoided the security cameras.
Juan Cifuentes and Farooq Abdulrazak, both from North London, were on what was supposed to be a business trip to Denmark and Sweden over the weekend.
They were last seen renting a Toyota RAV4 in Copenhagen.
Tragically, hours before they were scheduled to return home, their burnt vehicle was found in Malmo, Sweden, with two bodies inside, matching their descriptions.
Local media reports indicate that while Juan and Farooq were caught on camera renting the car, a third individual, seen with them in the Toyota, was not captured by the security footage.
Investigators are currently seeking this unknown person, who may have had contact with the victims before their disappearance.
Investigation and Theories
The car was last seen crossing the Öresund Bridge into Sweden.
A friend of the victims mentioned that they had planned to meet with hoteliers in Sweden.
They were expected back on Sunday, but failed to return. The friend suspects the incident might have involved a carjacking or robbery gone wrong.
Firefighters found the burnt-out Toyota RAV4 on a dirt track in an industrial area in Malmo. The authorities believe the victims were shot before the car was set on fire.
The car’s location and its condition suggest that the perpetrators might have driven it to a remote area to conceal their tracks.
Community Reaction
The local community, particularly those who knew Juan and Farooq from Finchley Mosque, are in shock.
Juan was a father of two, and Farooq had recently married.
Their friends and family are devastated by their loss, and the close-knit community is grieving deeply.
Ongoing Investigation
Swedish police are working with Interpol to investigate the case, including whether any possessions were stolen from the victims.
The identities of the bodies have not been officially confirmed yet.
The Foreign Office is providing support to the families during this difficult time.
Conclusion
Police are treating the incident as a double murder and continue to investigate.
The search for the third person involved and the full details of what happened remain ongoing.
