Saudi Arabia ‘curtailed’ Jamal Khashoggi murder probe – UN expert

(UTV|COLOMBO) – Saudi Arabia “seriously curtailed and undermined” Turkey’s ability to investigate the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a UN expert has said.

A preliminary report says it was 13 days before Turkey was allowed into the consulate where the journalist was killed.

Khashoggi was last seen alive entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October.

The 59-year-old was a prominent critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

US officials have reportedly said such an operation would have needed the prince’s approval.
