Jesus!!!! About Pirates we know, but about cannibals?

DNA tests will be carried out on bones, a jaw, teeth and some melted metal — believed to be fillings.
But Jose Thorel, prosecutor on the island near Tahiti where the gruesome discovery was made, said today: "It is almost certain the remains we found in the fire are those of Stefan Ramin."

It is understood that his dental files had been a positive match for the teeth found in the cold ash of the fire on the French Polynesian island of Nuku Hiva, 930 miles North East of Tahiti.

.....American writer Herman Melville — who wrote Moby-Dick — visited the island in 1842 but left in a hurry when he began to suspect the locals were fattening him up for a feast.
