The killers of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi poured his remains down the drain after dissolving him in acid, a Turkish newspaper reported Saturday .Samples taken from the drains at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul showed traces of acid, pro – government daily Sabah said , without quoting sources .

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 , the paper said .I 

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 .

However , Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused the “ highest levels ” of the Saudi government of ordering the hit , while some officials have pointed the finger at the all – powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman .

Yasin Aktay , an advisor to Erdogan , suggested last week the body may have been dissolved in acid.

And on Monday , a Turkish official said Saudi Arabia sent two experts to Istanbul with the specific aim of covering up evidence after the murder .
