Detroit police say they're investigating the deaths of two females whose badly burned bodies were found in the trunk of a car on the city's east side.

WDIV-TV says firefighters got a call and arrived about 1 a.m. Sunday. Police say firefighters found a car on fire in the garage of a house and found two bodies in the trunk.

Police say the bodies were burned beyond recognition, and the victims' identities weren't immediately known.

This is the second time within a week that two women's bodies were found in the trunk of a car in Detroit. The bodies of cousins Demesha Hunt, 24, and Renisha Landers, 23, both of Detroit, were found in the trunk of a car Dec. 19 near Outer Drive and Chalmers. An autopsy did not show a definitive cause of death and the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office is awaiting toxicology results.
