Jamal Khashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, then his body dismembered and disposed of,
the city’s chief prosecutor has said in the first official confirmation of how the Saudi journalist died.
The statement further undermines Saudi claims he was killed after a fight broke out in the consulate, where he had arrived to collect documents for his upcoming wedding.
The prosecutor said his discussions this week with his Saudi counterpart had yielded “no concrete result”.
This is a breaking news story. More details to follow.
