German businessman eaten by cannibals
A Germany-based businessman has been eaten by locals of Nuku Hiva in French Polynesia.
40-year-old Stefan Ramin, a former business adviser from Haselau in northern Germany, was on a worldwide sailing tour with his girlfriend, Heike Dorsch, 37, when they visited Nuku Hiva, where he reportedly was eaten by suspected cannibals. Stefan had been missing for well over a week when local police found his remains in a remote valley. Bones, teeth and melted fillings were also found in the campfire ashes. Experts believe he was "hacked to pieces and burned" and eaten by cannibals. Testing will conclude whether the ashes belong to Ramin.
Heike Dorsch was reportedly raped by the local guide Henri Haiti.
Over 20 000 people live on Nuku Hiva Nuku Hiva, which is the largest of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia.
