Lahore, February 11: US official Raymond Davis, arrested after he shot and killed two Pakistani men he claimed were trying to rob him, was today remanded to judicial custody for 14 days by a local court here.
Davis was brought to the judicial magistrate’s court in Model Town area in an armoured vehicle amidst tight security.
In an apparent attempt to confuse a large number of local and foreign journalists tracking the movements of Davis, police sent two armoured vehicles to as many courts.
“He has been remanded to judicial custody for 14 days.
The next hearing will be on February 25,”Abdul Samad, the prosecutor for the Punjab government, told the media outside the court.
Shortly after the court gave its order, Davis was taken to Kot Lakhpat jail.
Authorities had recently made special arrangements for him at the prison.
