American Preacher killed on North Sentinel Island

An American man was killed by a protected tribe in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the police said today. Seven fishermen who took 27-year-old John Allen Chau to North Sentinel Island, where the indigenous Sentinelese people live, have been arrested, the police said.
The Sentinelese, whose population in 2011 was estimated at 40, are known to resist contact with the outside world.

fishermen told the police that they last saw the American man facing a flurry of arrows after he landed on the island towards the southern Andamans on November 16. The tribes dragged the American to the beach, they said, adding that moments later as they were sailing away they saw Mr Chau's body half-buried in the sand.

He was attacked by arrows but he continued walking. The fishermen saw the tribals tying a rope around his neck and dragging his body. They were scared and fled but returned next morning to find his body on the sea shore

Mr Chau had been to the Andamans several times in the last few years. The American man was also "a preacher" who apparently told Alex that he was interesting in converting the Sentinelese people, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
