VANUATU Police say they know the identities of five suspects wanted over the murder of an Australian woman living in the capital, Port Vila.Lyndall Jaques, 69, was found murdered at her home in a largely expatriate enclave on the outskirts of the city last Monday. Ms Jaques' body was discovered by a gardener in a pool of blood. It was thought she may have been sexually assaulted before being bashed to death with a stick. The head of the investigation into Ms Jaques' death, Superintendent Bule Kelson, says police know the identities of the five people allegedly involved and would probably name them publicly tomorrow. A suspect already named in the investigation, 20-year-old Jacky Saul, narrowly avoided capture by police last week after fleeing into bushland. Mr Saul was already wanted in Vanuatu in connection to a number of house break-ins. Last week, Supt Kelson said he was confident of arresting Mr Saul. "We will catch him, it is just a matter of time. We have an arrest group looking for him now,'' he said. Ms Jaques had lived in Vanuatu since 1986. Two Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers arrived in Vanuatu last week to assist in the investigation. They are there at the request of Vanuatu Police.
