Suspect arrested in Sweden over deaths of two Britons

Swedish police have made an arrest after two British travel agents were found shot dead in a burnt-out rental car in Sweden in July.

Business partners and best friends Farooq Abdulrazak, 37, and Juan Cifuentes, 33, had travelled for an overnight business trip

Abdulrazak is said to have been close to his business partner (Facebook) to Denmark on 14 July to promote their agency, Empire Holidays.

Family members reported the pair missing after they failed to board their return flight to London. The pair were found dead in the Swedish city of Malmo, inside a rented Toyota RAV4 left in the Fosie industrial area.

Both Swedish and British police are still looking into the double murder, according to Swedish prosecutors, who said in a statement: “The prosecutor has today arrested a person on probable cause, suspected of aiding and abetting the murder of two British citizens who were found dead in a burnt-out car in Malmo on 14 July this year. There will now be interrogations, both with the suspect and others.”
