Khashoggi's body parts were disposed of after being dismembered: Turkish prosecutor

The murder of slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi was pre-planned and his body parts were disposed of after being dismembered, the office of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor said on Wednesday.

Saudi authorities did not make any statements regarding the local collaborator in the Khashoggi murder, the office said in a statement.

Khashoggi was suffocated immediately after entering Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2, the statement added, as it reiterated a request for the extradition of suspects arrested by Saudi Arabia in the case of the brutal murder.

In a statement issued after two days of talks with Saudi Arabia's public prosecutor Saud al-Mojeb, it also said no concrete results were reached in those meetings but that Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor İrfan Fidan was invited to Saudi Arabia as part of the probe.

"Despite our well-intentioned efforts to reveal the truth, no concrete results have come out of those meetings," the Istanbul prosecutor's office said.

Fidan asked Mojeb about the location of Khashoggi’s body, and whether the Saudi investigation had reached any findings regarding plans to kill Khashoggi.

Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist and columnist for The Washington Post, went missing after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.

After initially saying he had left the consulate alive, the Saudi administration admitted weeks later he had died there.

Investigation of the incident suggests a special hit squad came to the consulate to kill Kashoggi and cover up the murder

The international community refused to accept the Saudi claim that the incident was not a premeditated murder.
