GUATEMALA CITY | Wed Dec 12, 2012 2:29pm EST

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Guatemala will deport to the United States software pioneer John McAfee, who is wanted for questioning in Belize over the murder of a neighbor, a Guatemalan immigration official said on Wednesday.

McAfee has been held for a week by immigration officials in Guatemala, where the 67-year-old American surfaced after evading officials in Belize for nearly a month. McAfee's lawyers managed to block an attempt to deport him back to Belize.

"Complying with migration law, Mr. John McAfee is to be deported to his country of origin," said Fernando Lucero, a spokesman for Guatemala's immigration office.

Officials said they expected the deportation to begin right away, although McAfee was still at an immigration shelter where he has been held.

Two police patrol cars arrived at the shelter, but it was not immediately clear to what location he will be deported in the United States.

The eccentric tech pioneer, who made his fortune from the anti-virus software bearing his name, has been chronicling life on the run in a blog, www.whoismcafee.com.
