American Man John Allen Chau

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.

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.

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.

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.

The night before John Chau returned for the last time to North Sentinel Island, he struggled with a sense of fear that his death might be imminent.

An American self-styled adventurer and Christian missionary has been killed and buried by a tribe of hunter-gatherers on the remote North Sentinel island in Andaman and Nicobar Islands where he had gone to proselytise, local officials said on Wednesday.

An American man from Alabama, who was killed by a protected tribe in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands possibly on November 16, had reportedly paid fishermen Rs 25,000 for smuggling him to the island. Efforts to recover his body, supposedly buried by the tribals, have been unsuccessful so far.

The Sentinelese, an aboriginal tribe of hunter-gatherers who have lived isolated from the outside world for almost 60,000 years, killed an American man who landed on one of the islands in India's remote cluster of Andaman and Nicobar. The North Sentinel Island -- home to the Sentinelese tribe -- is out of bounds for visitors. They used arrows to ki...
