Newsvine - Villagers apologize for eating missionary

Newsvine - Villagers apologize for eating missionary: "After eating an English missionary in 1867, contrite villagers in Fiji are now eating humble pie and want to say sorry.

Rev Thomas Baker, from Playden, East Sussex, was cooked and eaten by the people of the remote mountain village of Navatusila.

They only thing left of Mr Baker, a clergyman with the Wesleyan Methodist Church, were his leather boots - and they even attempted to chew them.

The people of Navatusila believe they were cursed because of the actions of their cannibal ancesters. They have no electricity, no passable road leading out of the jungle, and down the years they have suffered a series of misfortunes."
