Trip of a lifetime turned out to be a nightmare for a German traveller, who is feared to have been eaten by cannibals in South Pacific.
Stefan Ramin, 40, had set off to traverse the globe, in his search for paradise, in 2008 and was accompanied by his girlfriend Heike Dorsch, 37.
But unfortunately, the trip took a horrible turn when he reached Nuku Hiva, an island of 2,789 people, in French Polynesia, where the couple had planned to spend several months to experience a traditional goat hunt.
The remote tropical island was the last place where Ramin was seen before the charred remains, believed to be his, were uncovered.
Experts believe he was 'hacked to pieces, cooked' and eaten by suspected cannibals.
According to Radio New Zealand International, testing will conclude whether the ashes belong to Ramin, the Courier Mail reported.
Police are searching Henri Haiti, a local guide who went on a hunting trip with Ramin and then tried to sexually assault Dorsch, when he returned to alert her of an apparent accident.
Although, Haiti tied her to a tree but she managed to flee and alert the local authorities.
Haiti is still missing and is the subject of now seven-day manhunt from police and soldiers.
“The foreign ministry and the federal police are aware of the case and in contact with local authorities,” said a spokesperson from the German foreign ministry.”
