In a broadcast of Saudi state television, it was reported that Khashoggi was killed during a clash at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, while Arab authorities took steps to condemn those responsible.
Thus, a total of 18 people have been arrested, as well as two generals, since they have proved to have been involved in the crash that ended with the murder of 61-year-old Arab journalist.
The dismissed generals are Deputy Intelligence Chief Ahmad al-Assari and Saud al-Qathani, the chief assistant of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
Jamal Khashoggi had gone to the Arab consulate in Istanbul on October 2nd to get a marriage document, but it did not come out from there, while Turkish authorities have been continuing investigations and research into the dawn of the event.
Istanbul had consistently charged that the journalist had been killed within the consulate and his body had been torn apart, but the Arab authorities had strongly denied the charges until Friday evening.
Even the international factor had repeatedly called for the swiftest dawn of this event, while in protest they also abandoned an investment conference held in Riyadh.
Jamal Khashogg was a Saudi journalist who lived in the United States and wrote about the Washington Post, while known as a constant critic of the Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman.
