The court sources revealed that Davis plea of killing the two bike-riders in self defence was not correct as he killed them both intentionally and so he is facing case of killing Faizan and Faheem. According to statements of 47 eyewitnesses in the challan, Davis had not killed the persons in self-defence, and ,therefore, it rejects this plea of the accused. Eyewitnesses further said that Davis had shot at the two boys and continued shooting them even when one of them was running away. Police concerned requested the court to take action against the double murder accused under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). Court sources further said that soon within two days a meeting of judges would be held to ponder over the trial of Raymond Davis case whether the proceedings of case should be open or be held in-camera keeping in view the security risk.
But some other sources also said that case of Raymond Davis will be referred to the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Mehar Muhammad Yousuf after the meeting.
