American Christian missionary killed by flurry of arrows shot by an indigenous tribe on remote Indian island
Local fishermen were paid by 27-year-old John Allen Chau to help him get to North Sentinel Island, which is known to be one of the most isolated regions in India's Andaman islands. Chau allegedly hitched a boat ride with fishermen and ventured alone to North Sentinel Island in a canoe. According to official sources, no sooner did the missionary set foot on the island, where the Sentinelese tribe lives completely cut off from the outside world, than he found himself facing a deadly shower of arrows, Daily Mail reports.
However, the Sentinelese will not be held accountable for Chau's murder. In a bid to protect their indigenous way of life and shield them from diseases, any contact with the tribe or with the several others that reside on the islands is against the law.
