A court Tuesday adjourned a murder hearing against Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor whom the US government is battling to free on grounds of diplomatic immunity, after his lawyer requested more time.
The hearing in the murder case against Davis took place amid high security in Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore, where he is being held, and was adjourned until next Wednesday. “March 16 is fixed for the framing of charges because we have given Davis’ counsel all the documents they wanted,” said public prosecutor Abdul Samad. Davis has claimed he acted in self-defence when he shot dead two men in a busy Lahore street in January.
