Allen Chau

The US is not pursuing action against the Sentinelese tribe members in India who killed an American missionary trying to enter their island last year, according to the top State Department official for religious freedom.

The American national killed by Sentinelese tribesmen in the Andamans last month was pursuing a "planned adventure", the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes has said.

There was no lapse in coastal security in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that an American man, who was killed by an endangered tribe in the archipelago, could have exploited to reach the North Sentinel Island, the Navy said today. Allen Chau, 26, was killed by arrows fired by the Sentinelese hunter-gatherers last month.

Two weeks after American national John Allen Chau was killed by primitive tribes in the Andamans, startling facts are emerging about his visit there. Two American citizens had flown into Port Blair and met Mr Chau between November 6 and 10, egging him on, it is suspected, to go to the North Sentinel island.

Police believe two American missionaries encouraged John Allen Chau to go to a forbidden island in Andaman and Nicobar, where he was killed by an isolated tribe he was trying to convert, a top investigator said Saturday.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands administration had no plans to have any confrontation with the Sentinelese tribe, who killed an American national recently, and was moving cautiously on its investigation, respecting the existing laws that protected the reclusive islanders from outsiders, a top police officer said on Tuesday.

Conservationists have requested the authorities in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to call off the search for the body of an American man, who was killed by the endangered Sentinelese tribe after he trespassed on their island last week. Allen Chau, 26, was killed by arrows fired by the Sentinelese hunter-gatherers last week after he illegally went ...

Officials had a nervous long-distance face-off with the tribe who killed an American missionary, in their latest bid to locate his body on a remote island, the police said on Sunday.

The rituals in death over of the primitive Sentinelese tribe may hold the key to getting back the body of American John Allen Chau, killed by the aboriginals on North Sentinel Island near Andaman and Nicobar and buried on the beach.

It is essential to recognise not just the right but the need to leave indigenous people alone, to not literally invade their space. Let us stick to boundaries and respect them.

The body of American missionary-adventurer John Allen Chau may never be recovered from the lost island where he fell in a volley of arrows fired by a reclusive tribe whose existence is threatened by the modern world, say experts.

"They were just 200 metres away and were attacking my helicopter with everything they had - arrows were flying everywhere. I was on the ground on North Sentinel Island. The rotors of my chopper were running. In moments, my crew and I would have been captured and killed."

One of the last things American evangelist John Allen Chau wrote in his journal before being killed at the North Sentinel Island by primitive tribes was, "God sheltered us from the eyes of the Navy and the Coast Guard."

Police reinforcements took up position today near the island where isolated tribal hunters killed an American man, though no effort was to be made to recover his body, officials said.

The Union Home Ministry on Thursday said that American man John Allen Chau, who was reportedly killed by an isolated Sentinelese tribe in the Andamans, is being dealt with as "missing and presumed dead" as his body has not been recovered yet.
