US tourist enters tribal area in Andaman island, to preach Christianity, killed

[Chad32]

Is one dead body, (dead because it didn't belong there in the first place), worth the additional alienation, trauma, health risks, power flexing, ..............

And then what, have a ceremony then burn it or stick it in the ground again.

This.

How many people would be killed on both sides, potentially, ti recover a single body?

Less than fifty people, using bows and arrows. And I doubt they're English Longbow levels of epic. So I would imagine no one dying on our side, and the only deaths on their side being from their own xenophobia and stupidity.

Presumably the family would want it back. I'm glad the locals at least buried it, though.

As opposed to what?  Eating it?

Leaving it out for animals to eat it. Or desecrating it in some other way.
