A man wanted by police over the murder of an Australian woman in Vanuatu evaded capture on Thursday, but local authorities remain confident his arrest is imminent.Lyndall Jacques was found dead by her gardener on Monday at her home on the outskirts of the capital, Port Vila.Police denied earlier reports that the 69-year-old former school teacher's throat had been cut but said she appeared to have been bashed and sexually assaulted. Her house, in the expatriate enclave of Devil's Point, was burgled in the weekend attack. Vanuatu Deputy Police Commissioner, Arthur Caulton, has told The Australian newspaper that two officers had attempted to catch the main suspect Thursday but he escaped.Lieutenant Colonel Caulton said the man is likely to be carrying a knife and warned members of the public not to take the matter into their own hands.
