The Prime Minister of Belize has described John McAfee (McAfee's Onwer), the technology millionaire who has gone into hiding after the murder of his neighbour

John Mcafee is 'bonkers', says Belize prime minister

The Prime Minister of Belize has described John McAfee, the technology millionaire who has gone into hiding after the murder of his neighbour, as "paranoid and bonkers."


Mr McAfee, 67, has refused routine questioning after his neighbour Gregory Viant Faull, 52, was shot dead in his beachside villa on Ambergris Caye, an island off the Belize coast, at the weekend.

The businessman, who is constantly changing locations and telephones, has denied involvement in the killing. He claims the Belize police are corrupt and want to frame him, extort money, or kill him.
Dean Barrow, the prime minister, has now expressed doubts about Mr McAfee's mental state, saying: "I don't want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers.

"Mr McAfee is a person of interest. His reaction to being a person of interest is, to put it very mildly, hugely exaggerated. He is now, I think, visiting all sorts of calumnies on our country, and on our security forces, and his behaviour is to be deprecated. Come forward man.
"It is now hugely public and you surely do not expect anyone to believe that the police want to kill you, so that if you come in for questioning you are going to be murdered. That is utter and complete nonsense."
