Saudi king, crown prince meet Khashoggi family
38
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with family members of slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Riyadh on Tuesday, state media said.
The Saudi rulers met with Khashoggi’s son Salah and brother Sahel at the royal palace, state-run news agency SPA reported.
The report said King Salman and Prince Mohammed offered their condolences to the family of the Saudi journalist.
Khashoggi — a Washington Post contributor and critic of the crown prince — was killed after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct 2.
After more than two weeks of vehemently denying Khashoggi was dead, the Saudi government on Saturday said he was killed in a fight inside the consulate and said the murder was not state-sanctioned.

One thing is for sure that Saudi Arabia Govt. is not involve in Khashoggi's murder. Someone else wants to take advantage of him Murder or wants to break the relationship between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

There are rumors that none of Khashoggi’s family are allowed to leave Saudi.
They are trapped inside their own country.
Poor boy probably has no option other than to handshake.

@Dr. Haroon Rasheed It happened inside their consulate and a team closest to the Crown Prince flew in specially for this. Do you mean to say Saudi consulate staff made this conspiracy against their own country and nothing happened for 17 days. if this was not directed from Riyadh logically speaking immediate action should have been taken within one or two days.

@Dr. Haroon Rasheed your statement has no merit to it. As of now it is clear that Saudi government hide the facts and time will tell the truth very soon who is responsible for his murder.
Just wait and see.
