Police confirm man in custody after Winnipeg couple found dead in Jamaica
WINNIPEG — Police in Jamaica say they have made an arrest in the deaths of a husband and wife from Winnipeg a month ago.
Melbourne Flake, who was 81, and 70-year-old Etta Flake were found dead in their Saint Thomas vacation home on Jan. 9.
Their daughter, Debbie Olfert, says she and her four siblings are happy a man is in custody, but she cautions he is only a suspect.
Olfert has previously said that her mother was suffocated and her father was beaten in an apparent botched robbery.
