DJ aka GDR DJ Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 German man possibly eaten by cannibal on South Sea island A German traveller and a local hunter have been missing for a week on the French-governed island of Nuku Hiva in the Pacific Ocean. On Saturday, human remains were found in a dead campfire. DNA tests are currently being carried out on the remains, which include bones, a jaw that with some prosthetic teeth, as well as some melted metal pieces. Investigators said the evidence suggests that a human body was hacked to pieces and burnt. Remains of clothing were also found at the abandoned site, in a valley some two hours' hike from the coast. French chief investigator José Thorel, based on the island of Tahiti, did not rule out the possibility that the remains are from the missing German, but said the DNA evidence, which has been taken to Paris, could take weeks to analyze. Police are searching for a local hunter who was the last person to be seen with the traveller, who was sailing around the world with his partner, a 37-year-old woman. She reported that the hunter offered to take him on a trip into the island's interior. He then returned alone, telling the 37-year-old woman that her partner had been injured in an accident and needed help. Later the traumatized woman told the local Dépêche de Tahiti newspaper that the hunter threatened her, sexually abused her and tied her to a tree. The couple had been travelling around the world in a catamaran, and had landed on Nuku Hiva, one of the Marquesas islands belonging to French Polynesia in the South Pacific, two weeks ago. The missing man is a 40-year-old experienced traveller from Hamburg, though no name has been released. The German Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said, "The Foreign Ministry and the Federal police are aware of the case and in contact with local authorities." Source DJ 1 Quote

nani* Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Depraved people has always been and will be. Only in very exceptional circumstances only people forced to eat human flesh to survive, but these people had already died. That may be cases of cannibalism in areas not yet discovered by our civilization is possible, but this does not seem to be the case... Quote
Reptile* Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I'm just wondering what flavors he/they used? Quote
Panini*Hobbit@mp3 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I was just reading this on the paper today.. Apparently one of the tribes on that island has not been involved in any cannibal traditions for decades but I'm not sure what to believe with the media these days. Link Quote
