Audio transcripts of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder revealed

Turkish newspaper publishes detailed transcript of Saudi hit squad in the final moments of journalist’s assassination. The Turkish Daily Sabah newspaper has released transcripts of audio recordings of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the Saudi hit squad that killed him inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last year. Turkey has called Khashoggi’s killing “premeditated murder” orchestrated by the Saudi government. ‘I listen to music when I cut’ Saudi authorities have charged 11 unnamed suspects over Khashoggi’s murder, including five who could face the death penalty on charges of “ordering and committing the crime”. A report in the Washington Post in April said Saudi Arabia gave Khashoggi’s four children “million-dollar houses” and “monthly five-figure payments” as compensation for the killing of their father.
