Anti-virus software pioneer deported from Guatemala to US

John McAfee, founder of the eponymous anti-virus company, is wanted for questioning in Belize over the murder of his neighbour. McAfee has been deported to the US after having spent a week in a cell after arriving in Guatemala illegally.

A short time after the jet carrying McAfee landed in Miami, a posting on his website announced he was at a hotel in the city's upscale South Beach area.

"I have no phone, no money, no contact information," the post says. Earlier, as he prepared to board the plane in Guatemala he told reporters he felt "10 years older".

Reached by telephone at his hotel, McAfee told an Associated Press reporter that he was unable to talk because he was waiting for a call from his 20-year-old Belizean girlfriend, who did not travel with him.

The former tycoon has been described as a "person of interest" by the Belizean authorities following the killing of Gregory Faull.

McAfee and Faull are understood to have had several arguments over the behaviour of Mr McAfee's dogs.

He has previously told Sky News he went on the run for his own "safety" because the authorities wanted to silence him.

After three weeks in hiding, he crossed into Guatemala with his girlfriend Samantha Vanegas to evade the Belizean authorities. He was arrested on December 5 for illegal entry.
