McAfee says he's in Guatemala

NEW: Belize police think McAfee is still in that country, spokesman says NEW: McAfee uses media as "pawns" in making Belize "look bad," police say NEW: "I still question his frame of mind," police spokesman says of McAfee McAfee is being sought by Belize authorities in the killing of his neighbor (CNN) -- John McAfee, the Internet security pioneer, will seek asylum Wednesday in Guatemala, where he is now located after leaving Belize, his attorney said. Authorities in Belize want to question McAfee in the killing of a neighbor there and believe that he is still in their country. McAfee went to Guatemala for his safety and because it was the closest border for him to cross, said Telesforo Guerra, who is McAfee's attorney and a former attorney general of Guatemala. McAfee had nothing to do with the neighbor's killing and is being unfairly persecuted by authorities in Belize, Guerra told CNN en Español. "He had to come here because it was the closest and the most immediate place to protect his life from the persecution that the Belizean police initiated," Guerra said Tuesday. But authorities in Belize think McAfee is still in that country, said Raphael Martinez, spokesman for the Belize Police Department. He declined to disclose what information leads police to think that McAfee is still in Belize. "We're not even sure he's left Belize," Martinez told CNN. "He said a lot of things. The police feel he's still here in Belize. "It's difficult to pinpoint what he will say next or what he will do next. I still question his frame of mind," Martinez said. "I think the best thing is for him to come in and answer a couple of questions." McAfee remains "a person of interest," and Belize won't seek extradition of McAfee, Martinez said. Authorities aren't unfairly persecuting McAfee, and his attorney "should come to Belize and see what's happening here," Martinez said. Belize authorities want to talk to McAfee about the November 11 shooting death of American businessman Gregory Faull, 52, who was found dead in his home near San Pedro, on the Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye. Martinez saw CNN correspondent Martin Savidge's exclusive interview with McAfee on Monday, in which McAfee said he fears authorities in Belize. McAfee claimed that he refused to pay a bribe to a politician months earlier and that he has since been afraid for his life. Said Martinez about the CNN interview: "I think he really wants to make this into a great fiasco." McAfee is trying to use media, especially international outlets, "as pawns in his game for sympathy," Martinez said. "He's really gone out of his way to make the country look bad, and we just believe he should -- if he's innocent as he's saying he is -- he should bring in his lawyer, and let's get to the bottom of this and say what he needs to say and let's move on. "I'm sure he could be somebody who could direct the course of this investigation," Martinez said. On his website, McAfee commented about his relocation: "I apologize for all of the misdirections over the past few days. It was not easy to exit Belize and required many supporters in many countries. "I am in Guatemala and will be meeting with Guatemalan officials this morning. If all goes well, I will do a press conference tomorrow," McAfee said Tuesday. McAfee founded his namesake computer security software in 1987, initially running it out of his home in California. He sold his stake in McAfee Associates in 1994 and moved to Belize in 2008. The case began to unfold on November 9, when McAfee told police someone had poisoned four of his dogs. To put them out of their misery, he shot each in the head and buried them on his property, a former girlfriend said. Officials say the dogs' barking and aggressive behavior was a frequent source of friction between McAfee and Faull, a contractor who retired to Belize from Florida and lived next door. McAfee lived in the remote northern part of Ambergris Caye, an island 36 miles from the Belize mainland. Two days later, someone shot Faull in the head in his own living room. A 9 mm shell was found on the second step on the first floor, and Faull was found dead on the second floor. McAfee told CNN in the interview that he did not kill Faull and did not pay anybody to kill the man. He said he will not surrender to police for questioning, adding that his priority is to clear his name. Three people have been detained for questioning in the killing, police have said, and investigators are pursuing multiple leads. A 2009 story in the New York Times indicated that McAfee's fortune had plunged to $4 million from its $100 million peak, due largely to the real estate and stock market crashes that hit his investments. In February 2010, he started QuorumEx, which claims on its website to be trying to "reinvent the way modern medicine combats and disarms pathogenic bacteria."
