Jamal Khashoggi Was Strangled Immediately He Entered Saudi Istanbul Consulate

Journalist Jamal Khashoggi was strangled to death as soon as he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, a senior Turkish official has said. In a statement from the office of chief Istanbul prosecutor Irfan Fidan, the journalist was said to have been the victim of a premeditated killing and that his body was then dismembered and disposed of.The new details surrounding the death of Mr Khashoggi were released following a meeting between Mr Fidan and Saudi counterpart Saud al-Mojeb. It is the first public confirmation by a Turkish official that The Washington Post columnist was strangled and dismembered, but Mr Fidan said no “concrete results” had come of his discussions with Mr al-Mojeb regarding who ordered the killing. The whereabouts of the remains of Mr Khashoggi also remain unknown despite “good-willed efforts” by Turkey to uncover the truth, the statement added.Photo Credit: Getty
