American killed by isolated tribe on North Sentinel Island in Andamans
John Allen Chau, 27, is believed to have paid fishermen to ferry him to North Sentinel Island, home to a 30,000-year-old tribe known to aggressively repel outsiders.
“The fishermen in the dinghies tried to warn him it’s a risky thing,”
He said Chau, who some Christian groups have claimed was a missionary, had been trying to find ways to reach North Sentinel Island and finally succeeded on Saturday, taking a dinghy with the fishermen, then completing the rest of the journey by kayak.
On Wednesday night Chau’s family posted on his Instagram page saying that they forgave his killers and asked that those who helped him be released. The family described him as a “beloved son, brother and uncle” as well as a Christian missionary. “He loved God, life, helping those in need and had nothing but love for the Sentinelese people,” the family said. “We forgive those reportedly responsible for his death.”
