Swedish media have reported that both victims were British nationals and they were shot dead before the fire.

According to reports, the Britons had rented the Toyota at Kastrup airport, in Denmark, before it was found a burnt-out shell around 2pm local time.

Local police are interviewing witnesses and appealing to the public for any help as Interpol are also reportedly said to have been involved.

The two victims are yet to have been identified.
