| A missing McAfee guru, murder, bath salts and a drug lab in Belize |

| AS BELIZE police search for computer antivirus pioneer John McAfee, details have emerged about the accused murderer's bizarre life of dodgy business deals, drug arrests and remote jungle dwellings. The 67-year-old entrepreneur has been named the prime suspect in the brutal murder of US expatriate Gregory Faull. Faull was killed at his home in Amergris Caye at the weekend. Police say Faull and McAfee had previously disagreed about McAfee's behaviour, guns and dogs. The head of Belize's anti-gang task force told media McAfee was a prime suspect. No motive has yet been established, but police in Belize, central America, say they are following several leads. Police said Faull was found by a maid who had arrived to clean his house early Saturday morning. He was lying face-up in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head. News reports in the US reveal the bizarre and erratic tale of McAfee's life since he was pushed out of the company of his namesake, which sold for $7.7 billion two years ago. His McAfee security software was designed to neutralise computer viruses in the 1980s. He let people download it for free, but charged corporate clients a licensing fee. |
