Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, 24, set foot on the restricted territory of North Sentinel – part of India’s Andaman Islands – in an attempt to meet the Sentinelese people, who are believed to number only about 150.

“The American citizen was presented before the local court after his arrest and is now on a three-day remand for further interrogation,” the Andaman and Nicobar Islands police chief, HGS Dhaliwal, told AFP.

    The Sentinelese people are not known to practice cannibalism, or flaying.

    Your comment doesn’t make the American idiot look worse. It makes the Sentinelese sound awful.

    One previous idiot was killed by unknown means, likely an arrow or spear then this happened.

    The fishermen later saw the islanders dragging Chau’s body and the next day they saw his body being buried on the shore

      I’m learning new stuff every day.

      I was wrong and I found out today that they don’t eat people, but they do kill people. Still though, best not to go to places like that.

      I apologize for being incredibly offensive, and won’t do any dirty deletes.
