LAHORE – A court is to begin proceedings on Friday at a hearing into double murder charges against Raymond Davis, a US citizen who shot dead two men in Lahore last month, lawyers said.
The court where police filed double murder charges against Davis this month is to sit on Friday inside Kot Lakhpat jail, where Davis is being held, ahead of a High Court hearing to determine the diplomatic immunity issue, set for March 14.
“The hearing will be held inside Kot Lakhpat jail and notices have been served to all concerned,” public prosecutor Abdul Samad told AFP. “The immunity case before the Lahore High Court will not affect the proceedings of this court until the high court bars it from doing so,” Samad said.
