(b) Zoran’s implication in the conspiracy 171. Mr Simmonds began this part of his cross-examination by referring Dr Reveley to a number of the documents which make it crystal clear that he regarded his wife, sister and mother as being engaged in a conspiracy against him. He also referred her to the key document which appears to cast Zoran in the role of a victim. This document is a list of 93 names typed out by Bane and dated 5 December 1984. The list is headed “Angel”, which I take to be one of his typical self-identifications with figures from mythology or religion, and is prefaced with the words “The following persons are involved in criminal activities, sex-vice, drug taking, trafficking and perhaps in some other activities”. The third name on the list is Jovanka, and the thirty-seventh is his mother. Number eighty-eight is Mirjana, described as “My wife. Sexually ill person”; and number eighty-nine is Zoran, described as “My son. Destroyed by his Mother, Grandmother and Aunt Dr J Kovacevic.” The list does not itself refer to a conspiracy, but two days later, on 7 December 1984, Bane prepared a “Report No. 1” for Detective Superintendent Roy Penrose, Head of the Drug Squad at Scotland Yard, in which he said he had discovered an international sex-vice ring, that attempts had been made to poison or drug him with the result that he had been living as a fugitive for the last few months, and that there were over 100 persons in the ring, all of them very highly educated – bankers, lawyers, directors of major pharmaceutical companies, and so on. It is reasonably clear, in my view, that this must be a reference to the list of 5 December, even though it contains only ninety-three names. 172. Dr Reveley accepted, rightly in my view, that nothing in these two documents directly implicates Zoran in a conspiracy to harm Bane. However, it is I think equally clear that the list of 5 December 1984 does implicate Zoran in supposed criminal activities, even though the explanation for his involvement is that he has been destroyed by Bane’s wife, mother and sister. Dr Reveley went on to explain her view that Bane was certainly ill by December 1984, and his illness then varied and progressed over the years to such an extent that his testamentary capacity must have been affected. She agreed that her approach to the question was a broad brush one, and said that you have to look at the entirety of the picture “to form a fuzzy view” about how the illness appears to have come on him and how it manifested itself over time. She explained that it was not possible to form a detailed view, because Bane was never interviewed during his lifetime. Her assessment of the evidence was that Zoran was “a victim or a lesser figure”, and not one of the initial conspirators, but Bane felt that Zoran had been influenced by his aunt, his mother and his grandmother, and his mind had been poisoned by them. As she put it in answer to one question: “I think the information that I have seen suggests that he saw Zoran rather more as a victim; that he saw him as a victim of the other members of the family. And he also saw this as a tragedy, and was very upset about it. That’s the view I formed.” And in answer to another question she said: “I think the theme is that his family were implicated to a greater or lesser extent in what he considered a plot against him. I think, as I have said, that his son was in the second tier, as it were, of people involved.”
