Newspaper Sabah revealed in a report published on Monday new records of the talks of members of the assassination team of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, before and during the crime, a day after the newspaper itself revealed confessions of the assassination team.
The details revealed by the newspaper today talk about the preparations of Maher singer and forensic physician Salah al-Tabiqi to chop the body of Jamal Khashoggi before arriving at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, where they were talking among themselves about how to distribute body parts (chest and abdomen) on plastic bags.
The recordings also included the sounds of the assault on Khashoggi, telling him he would go to Riyadh, and their attempts to force him to write a letter to his son saying he was in Istanbul.
According to the recordings, the last sounds detected included Khashoggi's rattle and the sounds of his deep breathing inside the bag where his head was placed, and then an electric saw was heard for half an hour.
Cameras surrounding the Saudi consulate recently show pictures of the body parts being removed in five suitcases.
The details mentioned in the morning newspaper yesterday was the emergence of the name of Lieutenant General Mansour Abu Hussein, who is responsible for three teams within the assassination team, namely the intelligence team, the persuasion and negotiation team, and the logistical support team, founded by Ahmed Asiri, former deputy chief of Saudi intelligence.
The Turkish newspaper reported that Asiri shirked responsibility for the killing, and claimed that he ordered only to bring Khashoggi to Saudi Arabia persuasion, contrary to the testimony of Abu Hussein, who said Asiri asked him to bring Jamal even resorting to force.
