Cannibal believed to have eaten German tourist on Pacific island.

A CANNIBAL killer suspected of eating a round-the-world yachtsman was being hunted by police last night.

Guide Henri Haiti is believed to have killed German Stefan Ramin, 40, and eaten him.

Stefan’s remains were discovered in the embers of a campfire on the island of Nuku Hiva in the Pacific Ocean.

The yachtsman’s girlfriend, Heike Dorsch, 37, said she escaped from the guide after he chained her to a tree and sexually assaulted her.

Stefan, a former business adviser from Haselau in northern Germany, was on a worldwide sailing tour with Heike when they visited the French Polynesian island.

Reports in Germany said they stopped off at Nuku Hiva in their catamaran on September 16 and Stefan went missing when he went on a goat hunt with Haiti.

Heike went looking for him after the guide told her: “There’s been an accident. He needs help.”

But instead of helping her find Stefan, he is said to have taken her captive and put her through a sex ordeal. Hours later, she managed to escape and alerted the authorities.

Stefan had been missing for a week when the police found his remains in a remote valley. Bones, teeth and melted fillings were also found in the campfire ashes.

Moby Dick author Herman Melville claimed he was once captured by a tribe of cannibals on Nuku Hiva. He escaped before they could eat him.
