On October 2, 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist working for the Washington Post in the United States, went to his country's consulate in Istanbul to process documents – and never again.
On the same day, a Saudi team of 15 Saudi men reportedly went to Istanbul. All evidence suggests the killing of Khashoggi, suggesting that his body was first dismembered and then eliminated.
The badbadination of the famous journalist and critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has had worldwide repercussions, both as an attack on the freedom of the media and as a shocking glimpse of how a secret and repressive regime works.
The horrible story has been well documented in the media, but still missing pieces and serious questions remain unanswered: What happened to the body? Why did two weeks pbad before Turkish investigators were allowed to enter the consulate to examine forensic evidence? And who was ultimately responsible for the murder?
Tamer Almisshal of Al Jazeera Arabic goes to Istanbul to try to find answers. He reconstructed the chronology of events and examined theories about what could have happened to Khashoggi's body.
In mid-March, Saudi Arabia announced that it had prosecuted those people it believed were involved. The Kingdom still refuses to accept a UN-led investigation and, despite the volume of powerful evidence, we still do not know if those responsible for Khashoggi's death will be held openly responsible.
