John Allen Chau killing: US will not prosecute isolated tribe that killed American missionary
John Allen Chau, 26, was killed in a hail of arrows in November after landing on the remote island to spread the word of Christ.
The North Sentinelese tribe in India that shot dead a Christian missionary in a bow and arrow attack will not be prosecuted by the US.
Alabama resident John Allen Chau reportedly intended to convert the inhabitants of a protected Indian Ocean Island to Christianity, but was killed by the notoriously cautious tribe when he tried to confront them, The Sun reports.
However, Sam Brownback, the Ambassador-at-Large for Religious Freedom, has now confirmed that the United States will not be pursuing the prosecution of the protected tribe, which resides in arguably one of the most isolated islands in the world.
