Turkish paper: Khashoggy's body dismembered and taken ouside consulate in five suitcases

Jamal Khashoggi's body was dismembered and put into five suitcases after he was strangled upon entering Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul last month, according to a report by a Turkish pro-government newspaper.
Citing unnamed officials, Sabah reported on Sunday that the suitcases were then taken to the Saudi consul-general's residence near the consulate the day the journalist - a critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS - was killed on October 2.

The officials said that Maher Mutreb, Salah Tubeigy and Thaar al-Harbi were the three key figures from a 15-member hit squad reportedly involved in dismembering Khashoggi's body and removing it from the premises.

Mutreb was a direct aide to MBS, while Tubeigy was the head of the Saudi Scientific Council of Forensics and a colonel in the kingdom's army.

Al-Harbi was reportedly promoted to lieutenant in the Saudi royal guard last year for bravery in the defence of the crown prince's palace in Jeddah.
Sabah's report came 48 hours after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he believed that the order to kill the journalist came from the "highest levels" of the Saudi state.
 CCTV footage shows the three individuals travelled in a number of vehicles from the consulate to the consul-general's residence 200 metres away after Khashoggi's murder at about 3pm.
Less than two hours later, Mutreb is seen leaving the residence, according to the footage.
It is at the residence that they reportedly disposed of the body parts, although it is unknown how this was done. Where the body parts are is still unbclear. One Turkish official is reported saying that there was acid used to dissolve the body. Also on Friday, Yasin Aktay, an adviser to Erdogan and a friend of Khashoggi's, told Hurriyet newspaper  the team that killed the journalist cut up his body in order to dissolve for easier disposal. Another Turkish offical, however. speculated that the well shaft was used in the garden of the consul-general's residence.
With a joint Turkish and Saudi probe into Khashoggi's fate making little progress so far, Erdogan on Friday called on Saudi Arabia to answer outstanding questions concerning the 59-year-old's killing.
"We must reveal the identities of the puppet masters behind Khashoggi's killing," Erdogan wrote in an opinion piece published by US newspaper The Washington Post.
