I want to have a normal life, says McAfee

US anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee filed another legal motion on Sunday as he seeks to avoid deportation to Belize for questioning over his neighbor's murder, his lawyer said on Sunday.

Software company founder John McAfee said he wants to return to the US and “settle down to whatever normal life” he can.

In a live-stream Internet broadcast from the Guatemalan detention center where he is fighting a government order that he be returned to Belize, the 67-year-old said, “I simply would like to live comfortably day by day, fish, swim, enjoy my declining years.” Police in neighboring Belize want to question McAfee in the fatal shooting of a US expatriate who lived near his home on a Belizean island in November.

The creator of the McAfee antivirus program again denied involvement in the killing during the Sunday Internet video hook-up. His comments were sometimes contradictory. McAfee is an acknowledged practical joker who has dabbled in yoga, ultra-light aircraft and the production of herbal medications.
