McAfee founder on the run after killing

People all over the world know his name but not his face — and now John McAfee, founder of the antivirus company, is on the run for killing a man in Central America.

Police raided McAfee’s mansion on Ambergris Caye, an island off Belize, to question him about the murder of Gregory Faull, who lived nearby. But McAfee was nowhere to be found, said police, who added he was wanted “for homicide”.

McAfee told Wired magazine he was innocent, and had watched police search his property from a hole he had buried in the sand — covering himself with a cardboard box. “It was extremely uncomfortable,” he said, adding: “You can say I’m paranoid about it but they will kill me, there is no question. They’ve been trying to get me for months.”
