Stefan Ramin and Heike Dorsch were on the trip of a lifetime heading for New Zealand. A round-the-world yachtsman travelling to New Zealand is feared to have been hacked to pieces and eaten by cannibals on a South Pacific island.
Stefan Ramin, 40, from Germany, was visiting the remote French Polynesian island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas with his girlfriend when he disappeared last week.
Human remains - which local police believe to be Mr Ramin's - have been found in a campfire.
His girlfriend Heike Dorsch, 37, said he went on a goat-hunting trip with a local guide called Henri Haiti.
She told Britain's Daily Mail that only the guide returned from the hunting expedition and told her: "There's been an accident. He needs help."
