Turkish Police ‘Find Evidence Journalist Was Murdered' Inside Saudi Consulate

 Jamal Khashoggi
 
Turkish police have told The Associated Press on Tuesday they found evidence suggesting Jamal Khashoggi was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul but disclosed no further details.

The purported evidence was found despite a declaration by Turkey's president that Saudi operatives may have painted over crucial evidence at the consulate. 

A Turkish Foreign Ministry official said the Saudi consul’s home in Istanbul is going to be searched, after investigators inspected the consulate overnight on Monday, and “toxic materials” examined, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Consul General himself, Mohammad al-Otaibi, has left Turkey, departing on a 5 pm flight to Riyadh, though it was not clear if the departure was routine or whether he had been declared persona non grata by Turkish officials.
