Report: 2 Swedes found dead in Egyptian resort
CAIRO (AP) — Authorities have discovered the bodies of a Swedish couple in a villa in a Red Sea resort city in Egypt, the country's state television reported Thursday. It says investigators suspect the villa guard.
The Thursday report said the couple was found in Hurghada a week after they disappeared. It said the guard allegedly wanted to take over the villa, without explaining further.
It provided no additional details on their identities. The Swedish Embassy could not be reached for comment as it was closed.
Crime in Egypt surged after the country's 2011 uprising, as the police force collapsed and the country became awash with weapons.
