Mr McAfee is wanted for questioning in relation to the murder of neighbour

Mr Faull was found lying face up in a pool of blood on Sunday with what
appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head.
Multi-millionaire antivirus software entrepreneur McAfee told Wired magazine
he knows nothing about Faull’s murder, but fears he may have been his
killers’ intended target.
Mr McAfee, a British-born American, created McAfee antivirus software, which
was worth around £60 million in 2009 but has slumped in the wake of the US
financial crisis.

Yesterday Dean Barrow, the prime minister of Belize, cast doubts over Mr
McAfee’s mental state and called for him to come forward, saying: “I
don’t want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely
paranoid, even bonkers.
“Mr McAfee is a person of interest. His reaction to being a person of
interest is, to put it very mildly, hugely exaggerated. He is now, I think,
visiting all sorts of calumnies on our country, and on our security forces,
and his behaviour is to be deprecated. Come forward man.”
