The billionaire software genius behind the McAfee antivirus programs is wanted for murder in Belize.
According to Gizmodo.com, Belize police claim John McAfee is the
prime suspect in the shooting death of an American expatriate named
Gregory Faull.
Faull was reportedly gunned down at his home in San Pedro Town on the
island of Ambergris Caye on Saturday - after an argument with McAfee
had turned deadly.
McAfee, whose software company sold to Intel in 2010 for $7 billion -- has been living in Belize for a while now.
Details around the alleged argument between McAfee and Faull are
unclear, but police claim Faull had filed a formal complaint about
McAfee with the local mayor's office recently, claiming McAfee had been
firing off guns and exhibiting "roguish behavior."
Gizmodo has published a statement from the San Pedro police, which
says Faull was found lying face up "in a pool of blood." Police have not
established a motive.
According to Gizmodo's report, police claim McAfee is currently "on the run from murder charges."
