WINNIPEG \u2014 The daughter of a married couple from Winnipeg found dead in Jamaica believes her parents were murdered.<\/p>\n

Debbie Olfert said she can’t believe they are gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is surreal. I don’t want to catch myself living what they must have felt, what they must have gone through,\u201d she said Wednesday. \u201cHow frightened they must have been.<\/p>\n

How terrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jamaica Constabulary Force has identified the couple as 81-year-old Melbourne Flake and 70-year-old Etta Flake.<\/p>\n

Global Affairs Canada did not release any names, but offered its condolences to family and friends.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the department said consular services are being provided to the family.<\/p>\n

Jamaican police say on Monday and Tuesday construction workers attempted to contact the couple in a home in the community of Morant Bay, but were not successful.<\/p>\n

Police officers then entered the house and found two bodies.<\/p>\n

Family members said the Flakes, who both had Canadian and Jamaican citizenship, were killed in a home burglary.<\/p>\n
