Journalist Jamal Khashoggi 'killed inside Saudi consulate', Turkish officials say | The Independent |

Turkey has concluded that a Saudi journalist who disappeared on Tuesday during a visit to his nation's consulate in Istanbul was killed on the premises and his body removed from the building, an official Turkish source has confirmed to The Independent.

The news was first reported by Reuters. Turkey is said to be preparing evidence to release publicly on Sunday or Monday concerning the ongoing investigation into the the disappearance of Mr Khashoggi, a prominent Arab journalist and regular columnist for The Washington Post.

The reports of Mr Khashoggi's possible murder at the hands of Saudi authorities came just hours after Riyadh announced it would allow Turkish authorities to inspect the consulate facility, in the upmarket Levent district on the European side of Istanbul.
