LAHORE: US Consul General in Lahore, Carmela Conroy said on Friday US national Raymond Davis enjoyed diplomatic immunity and should be released from police custody immediately.
Addressing a press conference at her residence, Conroy said the US respected Pakistan’s sovereignty, law and wishes of the people, adding that the US regretted the killing of the three Pakistan youths calling it an accident.
She said the police had not investigated the incident properly, claiming that Davis had opened fire in self-defence but the police did not bother to pay attention to the testimony of witnesses present on the scene.
Earlier, Conroy along with three other US officials visited Davis at the Kot Lakhpat Jail to check the security arrangements made for him.
