Members of an isolated Indian tribe armed with bows and arrows have killed an American who encroached on their remote island, police said.John Allen Chau, 27, is believed to have paid fishermen to ferry him to North Sentinel Island, home to a 30,000-year-old tribe known to aggressively repel outsiders.
"The fishermen in the dinghies tried to warn him it’s a risky thing," said Denis Giles, an activist for the rights of tribal groups and a journalist on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Indian territory where the incident took place.
Indian police said a murder case had been registered against "unknown tribesmen" and seven people arrested for helping Chau reach the island.
