John McAfee: Belize

McAfee Dept: GUATEMALA CITY - Software company founder John McAfee was updating his blog from a Guatemalan immigration detention centre on Thursday after his arrest for illegally entering the country ended a bizarre weekslong journey as a blogging fugitive claiming to be persecuted by authorities in Belize, according to Winnipeg Free Press. McAfee said on his blog Thursday morning that he had been given a computer by the warden at the migration centre in Guatemala City, a three-story building with mesh-covered windows and barbed-wire on the roof and software company founder John McAfee poses for pictures after a press conference outside the Supreme Court in Guatemala City, Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012. McAfee, 67, who has been identified as a "person of interest" in the killing of his neighbor in Belize, 52-year-old Gregory Faull, has surfaced in public for the first time in weeks, saying Tuesday that he plans to ask for asylum in Guatemala because he fears persecution in Belize.
