Slugs in McAfee’s dog heads and Faull to be analyzed

The manhunt continues for John McAfee, the antivirus founder, who has been on the run since the murder of his neighbor Gregory Faull. The US national was found dead inside his San Pedro home on November tenth and McAfee, who is wanted for questioning, has been the focus of the investigations. McAfee has been updating his blog periodically, but managed to evade police. Three of his associates, however, have been remanded for firearm offences and are expected in court on December nineteenth. Today, Police Press Officer, Raphael Martinez, told the media that they are sure McAfee is still in the country and that it’s just a matter of time before he surrenders. And while police maintain that McAfee is not a suspect, Martinez confirmed that slugs were removed from McAfee’s dogs, which he shot after they were poisoned and will be tested to see if they match those that were found on Faull.

“When it comes to the case of McAfee, the latest information from San Pedro Police Station is that he’s still at large and he is still wanted for questioning. Once again, we appeal to the general public and his friends to come forward and encourage him to come in so that we could put this case to rest or answer some questions regarding the murder of Mr. Faull.  We believe that he is a person of interest based on the proximity of where he lives and who he associated with, that he can help in the solving of this crime.  The dogs were exhumed and the slugs were taken out indeed and basically it’s just to match the slug that was found in Mr. Faull to ascertain—we have not gotten back that information as yet. It’s being done through our forensic people and I’m not really sure exactly how long it will take regarding that but I hope it will be really soon at least we have something tangible to go buy.  We have this operation going and this operation will be running for at least two months. We are not on a nationwide manhunt, but of course we have informed all the subunits throughout the country to be on the lookout for him and if he is seen, he will be detained for questioning. Coming back to whether or not he is on his compound, as was rightfully mentioned earlier, he has actually allegedly reportedly said a lot of things. We’re not really sure exactly how to take them, but police actually visited his compounds just to find a whole media circus waiting. I’m not really sure what his motive is, but we went there, we visited, we checked as soon as we get the tips but there’s only so much we can do when it comes to him reporting where he is. So we’re not sure exactly what to take as truth and what to take as fictitious.”
