Saudi officials have called the allegations “baseless” and the kingdom’s ruler insisted he had no knowledge of the incident in a phone call with the US president, who later suggested that Mr Khashoggi could have been murdered by “rogue killers.” Turkish and Saudi officials entered the consulate in Istanbul to begin a joint investigation on Monday, with technicians in coveralls, gloves and covered shoes carrying out an hours-long search. It came as the New York Times reported a claim that the crown prince had approved the interrogation or rendition of Mr Khashoggi back to Saudi Arabia but an official within the kingdom’s intelligence services “went too far” in an attempt to prove himself.

His fiancee ​Hatice Cengiz said Mr Khashoggi “was a patriot”, adding: “Jamal spoke up against oppression, but he paid for the Saudi people’s demand for freedom with his own life.” Calls for an investigation were also backed by UK foreign minister Jeremy Hunt in a joint statement with his counterparts in France and Germany.
