‘We have decided not to disturb the Sentinelese,’ says anthropologist involved in John Allen Chau caseIndia has no plans to recover body of US missionary killed by tribeIndian authorities say they have no plans to recover the body of John Allen Chau, an American missionary who was killed by members of an isolated tribe on a remote island. “We have decided not to disturb the Sentinelese,” said the anthropologist, who asked not to be named. The Sentinelese, whose tribe is thought to be at least 30,000 years old, have aggressively resisted contact with outsiders for generations. The Guardian understands an investigation is officially continuing against the seven men accused of helping Chau reach the island. The absence of a body will complicate efforts to issue a formal death certificate, the source said.
