Software pioneer John McAfee, who earlier this year was being chased around Belize by police, is being chased again, this time as a “person of interest” in the death of his neighbor fellow ex-pat American Gregory Viant Faull.
Apparently the men had a dispute about McAfee’s dogs, after which several of the dogs were poisoned.
McAfee denies having anything to do with Faull’s death saying in a cellphone interview: “Certainly he was not my favorite person and I was not his. He was a heavy drinker and an annoyance. But the world is full of annoyances; if we killed all of our annoyances, there would be nobody left,”
McAfee says he believes it is the Belize government that has poisoned the dogs.
“I don’t want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers.” said Dean Barrow, the nation’s prime minister.
He said McAfee was only wanted for questioning and that he should report to authorities.
The one silver lining in this, is that McAfee chose Belize rather than Newtown Square.
