I missed this crash at the time and only just found it when looking for the other possible fatality in Sunbury. The circumstances of this double fatality are not completely clear, but the police are investigating whether it may have been murder. Two vehicles, a black e-bike and a car, are mentioned, and it is possible, though not announced, that the dead were riding the e-bike, as the police mention a collision. The police warn against speculation, however, so we will have to wait for further news, or possibly court proceedings, to find out more. If the victims turn out not to have been the riders, I'll edit this post accordingly.

Many write-ups of the police release are on-line, here's the one by the BBC:

This seems to be the section of slip road mentioned in the police release:
