Faizan’s family returns, buys house and car

Families of Raymond Davis' victims had gone "underground" after the diyat payment.

LAHORE: Family members of Faizan Haider, who was killed by Raymond Davis last January, have returned to their home in Ferozwala.

The family returns after staying at an unidentified location for several months. The families of Faizan Haider and Faheem Shamshad had gone missing following the diyat payment on behalf of Raymond Davis on March 15.

A team of Express News went to their house but were prevented by other relatives from contacting any member of the family.

Sources reported that the family had bought a brand new car and a house in Ferozwala area near Lahore. Ferozwala is a suburban area having farmland and expansive houses.

Haider and Shehzad were shot dead in Qurtaba Chowk, Lahore by a US contractor, Raymond Davis. During the inquest, representatives of Davis submitted documents proving that as per Pakistani law, blood money had been paid to each of the grieved families, nullifying the need for a trial.
