He said police and forensic officers found both teenagers seated in the rear passenger area of the vehicle, with all windows fully closed and locked and no valuables reported missing.
Preliminary investigations revealed the pair had been unreachable since Friday, before the father of one victim located his own vehicle at the parking area and made the grim discovery.
Ramasamy said no signs of injury or criminal elements were found so far, with the bodies sent to the Duchess of Kent Hospital for post-mortem examination as police urged the public to avoid speculation while investigations continue.
