MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th October, 2018) The Saudi authorities have not authorized the Turkish police's searches at a well in the garden of the country's consulate in Istanbul as a part of the ongoing investigation into the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the Anadolu news agency reported on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Turkey's Patriotic Party (VATAN) leader Dogu Perincek told Sputnik citing security sources that the body of the murdered journalist had been found in a well in the residence of the Saudi consul general in Istanbul.
Khashoggi, known for his criticism of Saudi policies, had been working as a columnist for The Washington Post. The journalist was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2. Saudi Arabia admitted on Friday via state television that the journalist had been killed in a fight inside the consulate. Riyadh has arrested 18 people over their involvement in the incident, while at least five Saudi officials have been dismissed as the Khashoggi case was gaining momentum.
