Jamal Khashoggi’s body parts ‘found in Saudi consul general’s garden’
Turkish officials did not confirm the report.
Sky News’ account contradicts the explanation from Saudi officials that the body was rolled up in a carpet and handed over to a local collaborator to dispose of the evidence, the UK news outlet reported.
On Monday, Dogu Perincek, leader of Turkey’s left-wing nationalist Patriotic Party, alleged that Khashoggi’s remains had been found inside a well in the diplomat’s garden, reports the New York Post.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
told politicians in Ankara on Monday that Khashoggi’s body had not been
found and demanded Saudi officials reveal its whereabouts.
SLAIN WRITER’S SON MEETS CROWN PRINCE
It comes as Khashoggi’s grieving son met and shook hands on Tuesday with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia — who’s suspected of having a role in a politically motivated plot to kill his father, reports the New York Post.
Salah bin Jamal Khashoggi, the writer’s oldest son, wore a grim gaze as he clasped hands with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at Al Yamama Palace in Riyadh as cameras rolled.
The subsequent photos provoked a strong reaction on social media, with commentators speculating on how tough it must have been for Khashoggi’s son to shake hands with the man accused of having a hand — if not ordering — his father’s murder.
In addition to the crown prince and Salah — who’s been kept in the country for the past year by a travel ban, a family friend told The Associated Press — the meeting was attended by Saudi King Salman, and Salah’s younger brother, Sahel.
The royals “expressed their sincere condolences to the family of Jamal Khashoggi — may God have mercy on him,” CNN reported, citing the state-run Saudi Press Agency.
The report from the Saudi agency claimed that the writer’s sons thanked the king and crown prince for their well-wishes.
