rainman + 263 January 3, 2019 Saudi Arabian prosecutors will seek the death penalty for five of the 11 suspects detained over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi state news agency SPA reported on Thursday, as a Saudi court held a first hearing on the case.Saudi Arabia said it also sent new letters to the Turkish public prosecutor asking for “any evidence connected to this case”, which has rattled the Saudi royal court and damaged the reputation of 33-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Khashoggi was close to the royal circles before becoming a critic of Prince Mohammed and began writing for the Washington Post and speaking to international media about Saudi politics when he moved to the United States last year. Saudi officials have rejected accusations that the crown prince ordered his murder in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, in which Khashoggi’s body was dismembered, removed from the building and handed over to an unidentified “local cooperator”. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

50 shades of black + 254 January 3, 2019 If the suspects are found guilty, what will happen to the person who sent them on that errand? I believe that those killers didn’t decide by themselves to visit Saudi Consulate (with a private plane) in Turkey and kill JK.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
