Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was strangled to death as soon as he entered the kingdom's consulate, a leading Turkish prosecutor said on Wednesday.
Khashoggi was strangled and his body dismembered in a pre-meditated attack, chief Istanbul prosecutor Irfan Fidan's office said in a statement.
He was "strangled" as soon as he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and his body was then "cut into pieces" under a "premeditated plan", Turkey's chief prosecutor said Wednesday.
Fidan said that talks with Saudi Arabia had produced "no concrete results".
Saudi Chief Prosecutor Saud al-Mojeb said the investigation has yielded no "concrete results" despite "good-willed efforts" by Turkey to uncover the truth.
