Saudi Arabia's Prosecutor-General Saud al-Mojeb is expected to arrive in Turkey on Sunday to hold talks with Turkish authorities investigating the death of Khashoggi, Sputnik reported.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was last seen entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on October 2. Following weeks of denial, Riyadh admitted on October 19 that the journalist had been killed in a brawl inside the Saudi consulate, stating, however, that it had been a rogue operation carried out by agents who had exceeded their authority.

On Thursday, the Saudi prosecutor-general announced that, according to the interrogated suspects, Khashoggi's murder had been premeditated.
