“We do not know where the body is,” the AFP quotes the Saudi minister as saying.

Al-Jubeir also called the incident a “monstrous mistake” and noted that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud was not aware of this murder.

Also, according to the minister, the King of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdel-Aziz Al Saud, decided to bring the killers of the journalist to justice.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump said he was confident in the truthfulness of Saudi Arabia’s version of the death of Hashukji, who, according to Al Reed, died as a result of a conflict in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the country will publish "the naked truth" about the death of Hashukji October 23.
