Turkish newspaper "Sabah" published news about the statements of a staff member of the Saudi consul's house in which he said that the execution team used him to ignite the stone oven used to burn the body of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

According to Al-Jazeera correspondent, according to testimony of the Turkish employee working at the home of the Saudi consul in Istanbul Mohammed Al-Otaibi in the minutes of the investigation that the execution team tried more than once to ignite the stone oven but failed to do so, which forced them to use it and bring it from the consulate building.

The employee, who was not named, said he had noticed when he came to the consul's house that the members of the execution team were very nervous, and they were not exchanging words between them, but they understand the signs and gaze.

Upon inspecting the furnace, the employee realized that he was not igniting because of the closing of the rear vent. He opened it and lit the furnace. A member of the execution team helped him and provided him with firewood to speed up the ignition.

The employee says he noticed that bottles of chemical detergents were lined up next to the oven, and that the oven later became black before it was cleaned.

Jamal Khashoggi was killed on October 2, 2018, inside his country's consulate when he entered to get an official document to complete his marriage to his fiancee Khadija Genghis.

The first anniversary of his death coincides with a call by international human rights organizations on Wednesday for justice, stressing that what the Saudi authorities have done so far was not enough.

Khashoggi was writing opinion pieces critical of his country's policy in the Washington Post.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told the US television network that the Khashoggi murder took place while he was in power, which puts him in a responsible position, but stressed that it was carried out without his knowledge.

Amnesty International said in a statement that the Saudi Crown Prince's claim of responsibility for Khashoggi's death "would be just another failed public relations attempt, if it is not followed up with meaningful, concrete and immediate action."

"Saudi authorities have hindered meaningful accountability for Khashoggi's murder," Human Rights Watch said in a statement.
