Indian authorities have admitted that they will struggle to recover the body of an American Christian missionary who was killed after wading ashore on an island cut off from the modern world.


John Allen Chau was killed last week by North Sentinel islanders who shot him with arrows and then dragged his body away.


Dependera Pathak, director-general of police on India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where North Sentinel is located, said: 'It's a difficult proposition.

We have to see what is possible, taking utmost care of the sensitivity of the group and the legal requirements.'

He added that police are now consulting anthropologists, tribal welfare experts and scholars to figure out a way to recover the body.

While visits to the island are heavily restricted, Chau paid fishermen last week to take him near North Sentinel, using a kayak to paddle to shore and bringing gifts including a football and fish.

The investigation began after police were contacted by the US consulate in the southern city of Chennai.

Police surveyed the island by air Tuesday, and a team of police and forest department officials used a coast guard boat to travel there Wednesday.

Another trip was planned for Thursday.


P.C Joshi, an anthropology professor at Delhi University who has studied the islands said that Chau 'invited aggression' and 'it was 'a foolish adventure'.

Joshi noted that the visit not only risked Chau's life, but also the lives of islanders who have little resistance to many diseases.

'They are not immune to anything.

A simple thing like flu can kill them,' he said.


With help from a friend, Chau hired fishermen for $325 to take him there on a boat, Pathak said.

After the fishermen realized Chau had been killed, they left for Port Blair, the capital of the island chain, where they broke the news to Chau's friend, who in turn notified his family, Pathak said.

7 people have been detained now including his friend and owner of the boat.

Okay

Please ignore the next two replies.
Better comments ahead.

Sheybi he wanted to meet Jesus now the tribesmen have helped him achieve that so why is everyone making noise?
Shouln't we be thanking those tribesmen?



Anyway, the same fate that befalls pythons in Nigeria has befallen that dude.
It's two days already and digestion takes about 4 hours.

Explorers look for something better to give us jare.

Died for nothing....




Jesus deceive people well well o... Beliefs can hijack the mind.m

Wetin dey do the Sentinelese barbarians sef. They are flexing their small muscle with their crude weapons, na because world never get their time. Authorities still trying to respect their right. If not, spray all of them with sleeping chemicals and extract part of them for lab test. I heard they can break metal nails with their mere teeth and they're immune to diseases. There is a lot to learn from these ancient barbarians.

Perhaps the dead guy is an eye opener to new discovery. Anyway, i'm sure the guy is not going to die for nothing.

I pray for you too, Sister. I pray for you daily.

I pray that you will be free from the prison Jesus has kept you in. I pray you will be set free from the curse of Calvary. I pray that you find salvation in yourself, not in the corpse of a dead Jew.

Ramen.

Genocide? Let's wipe them out, shall we?

Gratefulheart, do you need fire and kerosene? Can you lead us with your modern weapons? Let's go terrorize small groups.. They are barbarians after all.. you're the human....

No, not wipe them out, we just gat to learn about them. I see them as aliens. They possess some super human DNA. They can't just hide on our planet and refuse to let us know about them at the same time. Research must progress. We gat to know who they are at this point. Enough of shiiit.

And they see you as human, I guess.

Swerve.

Evablizin:
Swerve.

Nailed ya...

HappyPagan:

Yeah, just know more about them. Why are they averse to the world knowing about them? What are they hiding? No one can harm them, just know about them. Nothing more.

WOW! Thanks for sharing. I will read it.

Should American military get involved in the recovery process.


That's the end of that tribe because confrontation will be unavoidable and we all know who will come tops.

The blood of a Christian missionary is a seed sown and will always reap harvest. I won't be surprised that in about 3 decades coming, a sentinelese will be a world renowned Evangelist, radical missionaries will come from there, that is the mystery of Christianity. We lay down our lives for a greater harvest. God gave up his only begotten son, but now has sons scattered all over the world, is really a mystery

False. Some is just waste. Like this ine.

Chriswazo:

.

I will be surprised. They are a remote tribe, peaceful and loving. While would they want to be Christian?

Chriswazo:

violent missionaries will come from there, that is the mystery of Christianity.

Lol. What are you saying?

Chriswazo:

We lay down our lives for a greater harvest in mind
.

Like big mugus aka sheep. Christianity is very powerful mind control..

Chriswazo:

. God gave up his only begotten son, but now has son's scattered all over the world, is really a mystery

God doesn't have a son, maybe a daughter or two. A son just wouldn't make sense....

I don't expect you to understand, is foolishness to you but profits the wise

Chriswazo:

You are wise?

Some people are just plain ignorant, saying a sentinelese will be an "evangelist for Jesus" just shows how much educated illiterates we've roaming Nigeria. This a a tribe that even a common cold from us can wipe them out.

Go read dailymail comments and compare it to Nigerians.

You can't force them to believe if they don't want to and stop trying to push your believes down people's throats.

The same way he saved the pastor abi?

If only Africans had been more adamant as the Sentinelese, we wouldn't be where we are

Are you a Christian?

Well at least i think this is the real martyrdom... Not the one u carry bombs and blow up people because they don't share your beliefs.

CaptainMitch:

I dunno

If ur prayers were effective, by now Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen etc would have been a thing of the past.. And Nigeria would have been the best country in the world..

The dude isn't better than those suicide bombers ..
