Aborigines seen with body murdered evangelist

port blair - Attempts to retrieve the body of the evangelist John Allen Chau murdered by the natives from the remote island of North Sentinel have been halted for the time being. Authorities do not know what they can do to get the body of the American from the island without bloodshed.

The 26-year-old missionary from the US was killed last week by members of a tribe who live isolated from the 'civilization' on the island. North Sentinel Island, located in the Bay of Bengal just about between India and Thailand, is forbidden territory. Nevertheless Allen wanted to convert the natives, who want to avoid contact with possible diseases, to Christianity.
