Twenty Saudi suspects including two former aides to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman went on trial in absentia in Turkey on Friday, accused of killing and
Khashoggi, 59, was an insider-turned-critic who wrote for The Washington Post before he was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018 where he had gone to obtain documents for his wedding to Turkish fiancee Hatice Cengiz.
Eighteen other suspects -- including intelligence operative Maher Mutreb who frequently travelled with the crown prince on foreign tours, forensic expert Salah al-Tubaigy and Fahad al-Balawi, a member of the Saudi royal guard -- were charged with"deliberately and monstrously killing, causing torment". The prosecutor has already issued arrest warrants for the suspects who are not in Turkey.
Erdogan has said the order to murder Khashoggi came from"the highest levels" of the Saudi government but has never directly blamed Prince Mohammed.Cengiz said she hoped the trial"brings to light the whereabouts of Jamal's body, the evidence against the killers and the evidence of those behind the gruesome murder.
Khashoggi was killed and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in a case that tarnished the reputation of the crown prince despite his strenuous denial of any involvement. Khashoggi's remains have never been found.
