Vanuatu suspect surrenders after two weeks into probe of Australian’s death

(Radio New Zealand International)

The prime suspect in the killing of an Australian woman in Vanuatu earlier this month has surrendered to the police.

After two weeks on the run, 20-year old Jacky Saul gave himself up following a call for him to surrender by his mother and the President, Kalkot Mataskelekele.
The deputy police commissioner, Arthur Caulton, has welcomed the surrender saying it was a wise decision.

He says one of the other four suspects who confirmed being with him admitted they had only planned to rob the victim.

The first suspect surrendered last week to the police and named the other three who were then arrested in a police raid.

The suspects are to appear in the magistrate court on the 30th.
