Jamal Khashoggi<\/a> entered the Saudi counsulate in Istanbul on October 2 to obtain a document certifying he had divorced his ex-wife, only to never be seen since.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turkish sources have told media outlets that they believe the Saudi writer and critic was killed inside the consulate in what they describe<\/a>\u00a0as a “premeditated murder”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saudi officials have countered that claim, insisting Khashoggi had left the building before going missing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are the latest developments:<\/p>\n

Wednesday, October 10<\/h2>\n

Trump demands anwers<\/h3>\n

President Donald Trump says the US is “demanding” answers<\/a> from Saudi Arabia about Khashoggi and wants to bring his fianc\u00e9e to the White House.<\/p>\n

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday that he has a call in to Hatice Cengiz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fifteen-member ‘hit squad’<\/h3>\n

Turkish media have published images of an alleged 15-member Saudi “assassination squad” and video of suspicious movements at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul following Khashoggi’s disappearance.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia remained silent as the images, though not offering definitive proof about Khashoggi’s fate, played across television networks in Turkey and around the world.<\/p>\n

Turkish media airs surveillance video<\/h3>\n

News channel 24, a<\/span>\u00a0private Turkish TV channel close to Erdogan, has aired surveillance video of Khashoggi walking into the Saudi consulate, and a black van leaving later for the consul’s home.<\/p>\n

News channel 24 aired the video, suggesting that Khashoggi was inside of the black Mercedes Vito.<\/p>\n

The channel said the van then drove some 2km to the consul’s home, where it parked inside a garage.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia did not respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Khashoggi’s fiancee writes letter to Trump<\/h3>\n

The fiancee of Khashoggi is asking Trump and first lady Melania to “help shed light” on the disappearance.<\/p>\n

In a column published Wednesday by the Post, Hatice Cengiz wrote: “I also urge Saudi Arabia, especially King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to show the same level of sensitivity and release CCTV footage from the consulate.”<\/p>\n
