Abstract
If the Bowditch boundary of a finitely generated relatively hyperbolic group is connected, then, we show that it is locally connected. Bowditch showed that this is true provided the peripheral subgroups obey certain tameness condition. In this paper, we show that these tameness conditions are not necessary.
