Summary Raymond Davis, who shot and killed two Pakistani nationals, was freed from prison but the legal procedure was completed after his release.
Raymond Davis was released from Kot Lakhpat jail but the jail manual was not followed according to law.As per jail manual, confirmation of two identifications of an accused is necessary but in Raymond’s case, neither his finger prints were taken nor was his jail record checked.According to the sources, the release order of any prisoner had not been received in a so short time period and the jail authorities never released any accused so earlier in history.The registration of release order was made after Raymond’s departure.The Punjab government, particularly the jail authorities were already well informed about the issue, the sources said.Even the lawyers were allowed to visit the jail after Raymond had been taken by a special flight from Lahore airbase.The jail authorities had been directed by the government in a special meeting on Tuesday at 3 pm.Raymond’s departure from jail was made in a black mirrored Land Cruiser with full protocol.This too was a strange example in jail’s history.
