Mr Kaczmarski 101. Mr Kaczmarski is a dentist who practises in West London. He says in his witness statement that he first met Bane in 1988, but Bane’s diary shows (and he agreed in his oral evidence) that the date was in fact in October 1989, when Bane came to his dental surgery with an existing patient of his, Father Milun Kostic. It is important to note, therefore, that Mr Kaczmarski met Bane for the first time after his mental illness had been fully established for a number of years, and after the execution of the 1989 Will. 102. I will not rehearse Mr Kaczmarski’s evidence in detail, although it helps in building up the picture of Bane’s character and behaviour in the later years of his life. Mr Kaczmarski remained Bane’s dentist until the end of his life, and they also became close friends. Mr Kaczmarski is one of the three people who gave an address at his funeral. 103. At the outset, Mr Kaczmarski found Bane to be “very suspicious of everyone and everything”, although this attitude gradually lessened over time. He would never let Mr Kaczmarski take any of his personal details, and when he required antibiotics he would phone him and ask him to prescribe them for him, rather than go to a doctor. He would blame his wife and his sister, whom he referred to as “Barracuda number 1 and Barracuda number 2” respectively, for the car crash in which his brother-in-law had been killed, and also for a skiing accident in which he believed that his skis had been tampered with. His great interests were wine and history, and he also took a keen interest in mythology, the Templars, the Masons and other secret societies. His knowledge was encyclopaedic, and he would often make unexpected associations or jump from one thought to another. He often used to show his diary to Mr Kaczmarski, who says that “it made interesting reading”. He often expressed himself in highly uncomplimentary terms about people, and what he wrote in his diary did not maintain a single train of thought: it would jump around various topics in an erratic manner, as did his letters. He spoke in exactly the same way as he wrote – like a stream of consciousness. He would often address very embarrassing remarks to complete strangers. 104. With regard to the Conservative Party, Mr Kaczmarski said that Bane was very interested in it at one time, and used to go to all the Party Conferences when Margaret Thatcher was leader, as well as giving them significant sums of money, but he later became disillusioned and would tear up donation letters sent to him, regularly referring to the Conservative Party as “bastards” or in other derogatory terms. 105. Like Mr Rinaldi, Mr Kaczmarski remembers Bane using phrases like “if he was my son” of Zoran, and similar expressions in relation to his sister and his mother, but not his father (except perhaps occasionally). In cross-examination Mr Kaczmarski said he did not take these expressions seriously. 106. When Zoran came up in conversation, Mr Kaczmarski’s impression was that it was a very painful subject for Bane, and he would normally change the subject quickly with a wave of his hand as though to indicate that he did not wish to talk about it. Bane never criticised Zoran individually when speaking to Mr Kaczmarski. However, when asked in re-examination whether Bane ever said what the relationship was between Zoran and his wife or his sister, he answered:
