U.S. technology entrepreneur John McAfee has been arrested in Guatemala for illegally entering the country. He fled there to avoid questioning in neighboring Belize about the murder of his neighbor.
Guatemala Interior Minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla says McAfee was detained Wednesday in Guatemala City and taken to a residence belonging to the immigration department.
The 67-year-old McAfee fled Belize last month after the deadly shooting of fellow American Gregory Faull. He emerged in Guatemala earlier this week and announced he would seek asylum in the Central American country. He says his life will be in danger if he is sent back to Belize.
