Jamal Khashoggi latest: Five facing death penalty over killing of Saudi journalist

Saudi Arabia said 11 suspects have been indicted in the killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, with five facing the death penalty.

Saudi prosecutors are requesting the punishment after Mr Khashoggi was slain when he attended the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul on October 2.

Another ten people are in custody linked to the killing, making the total number detained 21, though they have not been indicted or referred to trial.

"The Public Prosecutor has requested the death penalty for 5 individuals who are charged with ordering and committing the crime and for the appropriate sentences for the other indicted individuals," Saudi Arabia's deputy public prosecutor and spokesman Shaalan al-Shaalan said.

However, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said his government was not satisfied with this announcement, .

He repeated Turkey's demand members of what it claims to be a 15-man team involved in Mr Khashoggi's killing should be tried in Turkey.

Mr Khashoggi had visited the consulate to pick up documents for his upcoming wedding with fiancée Hatice Cengiz.

She attended the building with him and waited outside for hours, though he was never to return.

CCTV showed Mr Khashoggi entering the building, leaving Ms Cengiz at the gate leading up to it.

Mr Khashoggi wrote for the Washington Post and was a vocal critic of the Saudi government.

Mystery has surrounded the events which led to his death, though Saudi Arabia accepted he died in the building though statements as to what happened have been inconsistent.

Now, Mr al-Shaalan has said the writer died after a struggle, in which he was given a lethal injection dose, before his body was dismembered and taken out of the building,

There have been reports that his body was dissolved afterwards, and the whereabouts of his remains is still unknown, though this has not been confirmed.

Continuing, Mr al-Shaalan said that Mr Khashoggi was murdered after "negotiations" for his return to the kingdom failed.

He claimed the person who ordered the killing was the head of the negotiating team that was sent to repatriate Mr Khashoggi.

Turkish officials have accused Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman of ordering the murder while President Erdogan said the killing was ordered at the "highest levels" of the Saudi government.

In addition to this, President Donald Trump has suggested ultimate responsibility lies with the prince.

However, Saudi Arabia has denied involvement of the royal family in connection to the death.

A travel ban has been imposed on a top aide to the crown prince, Saud al-Qahtani, while investigations continue over his role.

He has already been fired from the royal court.

Turkey says it has a recording related to the killing, which President Erdogan called "appalling".

They also shocked a Saudi intelligence officer who listened to them, Turkish media reported.
