Looking a little like God in a Cecil B DeMille film, Radovan Karadzic was genuinely unrecognisable when he was arrested on a Belgrade bus last Monday evening. Yet even more astonishing was the news that he had been working as a crystal-rubbing therapist promoting well-being to audiences around Serbia. The killer as New Age healer – you couldn’t make it up.
Several people who came into regular contact with Dragan David Dabic were clearly shocked to discover that he was in fact Karadzic. “It never occurred to me,” said Goran Kojic, editor of Belgrade’s Healthy Life magazine, who explained that Dabic had referred to himself as “a researcher in psychology and bioenergy”. As recently as May, he made a public appearance as a therapist at a health festival, lecturing on “How to Enhance One’s Own Bioenergies”.
