American Missionary Killed With Arrows By Tribe On Remote Indian Island

Post by Animavore » Wed Nov 21, 2018 1:53 pm

A tourist has been shot dead with a bow and arrow by tribal people living on a remote protected island in the Indian Ocean.

The American missionary was called John Allen Chau and he had travelled to North Sentinel Island - one of the world's most isolated islands - with the intention of converting the people who live there to Christianity.

North Sentinel Island is situated within the Andaman Islands and to say the people of this particular island wish to be left alone is something of an understatement.

The 27 year old paid fisherman to help him get across to the island, but it appears as if he was killed by the locals as soon as he arrived there.

The indigenous people of North Sentinel are protected by law and it is illegal to go over to the island - not that you'd want to, given that they have a reputation for killing anyone who tries.

It should be legal internationally. I'd have a few JW skulls on my fence.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Still amazing that places like that still exist and they are not killed off by some western bug.

They have strict quarantine procedures. Meat is well cooked before being eaten.

The BBC's article is more thorough.

Starting to look like maybe he wasn't a missionary, just an "adventurer".

If he was a missionary he had a brain tumor.
