Yet another gory detail emerged in Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi murder case. The killers of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi poured his remains down the drain after dissolving him in acid, a Turkish newspaper has reported.

News agency AFP quoted Turkish daily Sabah as saying that samples taken from the drains at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul showed traces of acid.

This led investigators to believe the dead body of the insider-turned-critic of the Riyadh regime was disposed of through the drains as liquid.

Khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate on October 2 to obtain documents for his forthcoming marriage. His body has never been found.

After repeated denials, Saudi Arabia finally admitted the 59-year-old had been murdered at the mission in a “rogue” operation.
