The UN wants an independent investigation into Khashoggi's murder

Michelle Bachelet, Human Rights Officer at the United Nations, wants an independent investigation into the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. International experts must have access to evidence and witnesses, said Bachelet in a statement Tuesday.

The human rights officer also asks Saudi Arabia to reveal the location of Khashoggi's body to allow an autopsy. The Saudi journalist who lived in the United States and wrote for The Washington Post went to the consulate in Istanbul on October 2 to organize his divorce, and then did not leave. Turkey claims to have evidence that Khashoggi was murdered at the consulate by a death squad. He was first tortured, then killed and cut into pieces.
