Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pressed Saudi Arabia on Friday to reveal the whereabouts of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s body as well as who ordered the killing of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who was critical of the kingdom and lived in self-imposed exile in the United States.
“He’s dead and this is very clear, but where is his body?” Erdogan said, speaking through a translator on video while addressing to members of his Justice and Development Party. “You have to show us his body.”
Earlier in the week, reports in British, Chinese, and Russian media, all citing anonymous sources, said parts of Khashoggi’s body were found at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, where he was last seen entering three weeks ago.

Authorities have also looked for Khashoggi’s remains in a forest on the outskirts of Istanbul.
