Mladic's daughter committed suicide after the lover asked her for her father

The Bosnian Serb general had told the closest people he would never be captured alive while carrying a bag of guns with him all the years on the run to make sure he kept his word.

But when the critical moment came, the capture by Serbian authorities -- the man who ordered thousands of deaths during the war in Bosnia -- had no courage to take his life.

Not fulfilling his vow would reason with psychological disabilities. I didn't want us to be remembered as a suicide family”, he told a supporter, in prison.

In February 1994, when the war in Bosnia was in a bloody deadlock, his daughter, Anna, had used his favorite gun to kill himself.

She was in love with a doctor who was terrified of the slaughter being carried out in Bosnia on behalf of the Serbian nation, writes The Guardian.

He would marry her only if she distanced herself from her father. Anna Mladic chose the dilemma by taking her life.

Ratko Mladic, sentenced today to life in prison by the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague, as the commanding officer of the murder of thousands of Bosnian Muslims, has never acknowledged that his actions have led his daughter to suicide.

He has invented conspiracy theories, which were blamed on the historic enemies of Serbs.

Throughout a lifetime of death, Anna's was one of the few deaths that have touched her heart.
