I was right about the natives resuming their search the following day. I saw them approach the section of boulders just after nine thirty in the morning. And this time there were a whole lot more of them. I counted seven men on the beach, and I guessed that there were probably more of them scouring the forest. The sight made me slightly apprehensive. At that point I had no idea how good they were at reading spoors and how thorough they would be. If they decided to do a proper search of the entire island, I could find myself in a whole lot of trouble, and I could quite possibly be their third victim.

I tried to brush aside the thoughts and worry about that later on should my fears turn into reality. For now, the only thing I had to focus on was the child killer hiding behind the boulder and his rendezvous with death.

The natives grew in size in my binoculars, and they were now less than a hundred yards away. Very carefully, I pushed the record button on the camera and put the binoculars aside, and prepared myself for what was about to happen next.

They discovered him less than half a minute later, when one of the hunters went behind the big stone. I couldn’t see what happened at that exact moment, but I could see the guy a few seconds later when he jumped into the water, and I could see the spear that came flying after him moments later. The water immediately turned red, and the hunter that had thrown the spear jumped out after him. A struggle ensued, and some of the other hunters joined the fray. One of them pushed the guy’s head under water and held it there until he stopped moving. I guess the whole thing took less than a minute. Then they dragged the guy ashore and started stabbing him with their scythe like weapons up on the beach. The bright sand turned red and the body jerked and twisted every time it was hit.

They were going at it with an aggressiveness that I found hard to fathom. They really hated the guy, and they really wanted to kill him. And the only crime he was guilty of in their eyes was coming ashore on their island. They continued for another couple of minutes, and by that stage the guy was truly dead. His body looked like a big piece of flesh that had been dipped in a tub of red dye. Parts of the skin had been peeled away from his muscles, and I could see right down to the bone.

When they were done, another very unnerving thing happened. One of the hunters all of a sudden ran toward my hiding spot. I felt my blood go cold, and I had to will myself to lay still. There was no way that he could have seen me. Then when he was about twenty yards away, he came to an abrupt stop and raised his hands in the air.
