I think Badjoe was implying the fishermen robbed and killed the guy and threw him overboard, knowing that no one is sending Poirot on to that island to figure it out.

I read your post joe but thought the idea of a man who's life experience is reminiscent of those walking the earth 10's of thousands of years ago, holding an ipad, was an interesting thought imo. Visit Badford. |

He did make a video beforehand asking his family not to blame the natives if they kill him.

If the fisherman had killed him.....then he must had something on him to make it worth killing him?
If the island can be observed at a safe distance, perhaps someone may see the body of the missionary. and somebody may be able to slip ashore and remove it, it would be risky if the Indians observed this. Otherwise it is just guess work, nobody must contact these people, those are the rules. I would expect the fisherman who took him to the island to be punished, they knew the rules. |

I see the fisherman aw him being killed, his body dragged and then buried.
So they should have some idea where his body is. But there is still the problem and getting someone ashore to dig it up, risky. A frogman at midnight if the location is known??? |

By:
The natives should be taken to court, it’s possible there are millions of people like the Sentinelese living in London today
|
|
By:
They have been known to dig em back up a few days after burying em before now, authorities are watching and waiting I think.
|
|
By:
How can they be taken to court if they cannot be contacted?
You could try them in their absence and find them guilty, butt they cannot be contacted, so no arrests can be made. You think there are millions of Sentinelese living in London today. That seems unlikely lfc1971 |

By:
What do they do with the body once they have dug it up Saddo?

There is probably no medical reason why they can’t be contacted , that’s just an excuse for their bad behavior

"like the Sentinalese", I think he meant savages.

They propped one up with a stick on the beach, blue.

Can you imagine what the world was like before the British empire ?
well that is what it was like |

By:
No underpants.

By:
In England ( in the past at least ) when you lay beneath a fir tree reading a book, you were praying
In Sentinelese they don’t do that , well they don’t have any books |
|
By:
That’s not good , that ought to be clear to even the most wooden of wooden heads
|
|
By:
I wonder does it rain on the island , that would be nice and natural and consoling at least
|
|
By:
Their island, their rules lfc1971?
I would doubt the Sentinelese know what a book is myself? You think the British Empire was created to educate people lfc1971(and show them the benefit of underpants) I think it was to make money myself. To be fair the British Empire treated the natives of these countries we occupied a little better than some other European countries. |

By:
I would think it rains sometimes on their island, otherwise it would be barren.
No Indians at all, or any other animal or plant. |
|
By:
If people think the fisherman murdered the missionary then threw him overboard, I would think finding his blood on the boat would
the only chance of proving this. Unless his body is washed up on some other island. The police are not going to land on this island as it endangers the Indians, this threat is not hypothetical. |
|
By:
That’s nonsense
|
|
By:
the fishermen didn’t do it of course
|
|
By:
You have only to read the account , it’s in the missionary’s own words

It’s a difficult prospect trying to civilise a secluded tribe but it a good thing to try

Very good Reynard
1] Human rights group Survival International said it was possible that Chau had infected the tribe with pathogens to which they have no immunity, "with the potential to wipe out the entire tribe".[ Chau was the missionary, this is an appalling to risk, he is no Christian with me. Jesus did not go around infecting people with plague. If anyone thinks this not a risk. Then a good example is the Spanish conquest of Central and South America. As well as having a better weapons technology, horses, muskets better steel. The Spanish best weapon was the dirt they carried with them. This caused great plagues among the S.American civilisations at that time, preventing them offering co ordianted resistance to the Spanish. It also affected our conquest of N.America, in the aerly Indian wars as we attempted to gain a foothold. Again the Indians died in large numbers thanks to very dirt we carried. Even though we are now cleaner, there could still be a risk posed to the Sentinelese Indians. |

They should send a Drone in
 Btw, how did this tribe manage to get to this isolated island 60,000 years ago? |
|
By:
Maybe they were trafficked or maybe they were economic migrants
 |
|
By:
This island may have had a benefits system that was 60,000 years ahead of its time ?
|
|
By:
sea levels must have been much lower

By:
ebul I think you will find there were no civilisations in South America before the European Christians arrived
do you know the aztecs sacrificed men, women and children to their gods , to such an extent that the tears of the children fell down the beautiful mountainsides like rain |

Paris , France 1874 would be my definition of civilisation ( of course there are others but that is my favourite time and place )

perhaps Britain 1965 comes close , or even surpasses

Surely nobody in their right mind, so I'm excluding lfc, could argue with UBLE/REGY's 2:57 post.

The Aztecs did do human sacrifice bur still had a civilization... The Spanish were hardly much better they burnt non Catholics at the Stake |
