Saudi investigators admitted last week that Khashoggi's death was the result of a premeditated murder, not an accident resulting from a fight or botched kidnapping.
However, they haven't been very cooperative with Turkish investigators, haven't ponied up the remains, and haven't provided any information about the "Turkish operative" who they claimed took the remains.
Meanwhile, Turkey keeps pushing the Saudis for cooperation. The Turks want the intelligence/security suspects identified by the Saudis extradited to Turkey for prosecution. I doubt that will happen.
For the first time today, Turkish prosecutors made a public statement. They say Jamal was strangled as soon as he entered the building.
“The victim’s body was dismembered and destroyed following his death by suffocation,” Wednesday’s statement also said, bolstering Turkish investigators’ line of thought that Khashoggi’s remains could have been disposed of at the nearby consul general’s house, dissolved in acid or dumped in a well on the property.
