Lahore: US national Raymond Davis, an alleged CIA contractor who was arrested for gunning down two men here, today insisted he acted in self defence and had diplomatic immunity during a hearing into murder charges against him at a Pakistani court, which adjourned the trial till March 3.
Prosecution lawyer Abdus Samad told the media outside the heavily-guarded Kot Lakhpat Jail, where the trial is being conducted behind closed doors for security reasons, that 37-year-old Davis is expected to be formally indicted at the next hearing.
No counsel represented Davis during today’s proceedings and Additional District and Sessions Judge Yousuf Aujla advised him to select a lawyer to defend him before the next hearing, Samad said.
“All documents and the challan (charge sheet) were presented to Davis by the court.
