Lahore: Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor, involved in killing two Pakistanis, on Tuesday again refused to sign charge sheet against him during the double murder case hearing at special court set up in Kot Lakhpat Jail.
The charge sheet was given to his lawyer.The court adjourned the hearing until next Wednesday after his lawyer requested more time .
The hearing took place amid high security in Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore, where he is being held.
“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.
The issue of his claim to diplomatic immunity is pending before the Lahore High Court, which is due to rule on the issue on March 14.
