A top official of the United Nation (UN), Agnes Callamard, who has been carrying out investigations on the murder of Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, in Turkey, revealed on Thursday, February 7, the killing was premeditated and carried out by deceased's country men.

At the close of her recent visit to Turkey, Callamard, who is also the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, concluded: "Evidence collected during my mission to Turkey shows prima facie case that Mr Khashoggi was the victim of a brutal and premeditated killing, planned and perpetrated by officials of the state of Saudi Arabia."

Although officials of the Turkish government claimed that Khashoggi was strangled by a gang of 15 Saudis, media reports insisted that his body was cut up and dissolved in acid, NDTV reports.

However, after denying the criminal act for two weeks, Riyadh referred to it as a "rogue" operation and arrested some senior personnel.

"The murder of Jamal Khashoggi and the sheer brutality of it has brought irreversible tragedy to his loved ones.
