Swedish police confirmed the bodies were, as suspected, those of British men Juan Cifuentes and Farooq Abdulrazak, 33 and 37, who ran the Empire Holidays Travel Agency in London and were reported missing.
Swedish and British police are investigating their deaths as murder.
They were last seen on camera driving over the Öresund Bridge in a Toyota RAV4 car they had hired in Denmark.
The car was found in the industrial area of Fosie in Malmö with two bodies inside on July 14th.
The prosecutor was on Wednesday reluctant to share any information about what happened to the men in between.
“What I can say is that their movements and what happened is becoming clearer. We’re carrying out an extensive investigation and a lot remains to be done,” prosecutor Magnus Pettersson told Swedish newswire TT.
“We’re still working on the assumption that we’re going to solve the case, and bring clarity to what happened and who did it.”
He declined to say anything about the cause of death, although it has previously been reported they are believed to have been shot dead before the car was set on fire.
