Report: Khashoggi Corpse Went Down the Drains
2018-11-11
The latest theory...
[AnNahar] The killers of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi poured his remains down the drain after dissolving him in acid, a Ottoman Turkish newspaper reported Saturday.

Samples taken from the drains at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul showed traces of acid, pro-government daily Sabah said, without quoting sources.

This led Sherlocks to believe the dead body of the insider-turned-critic of the Riyadh regime was disposed of through the drains as liquid, the paper said.

Khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate on October 2 to obtain documents for his forthcoming marriage. His body has never been found.

After repeated denials, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
finally admitted the 59-year-old had been murdered at the mission in a "rogue" operation.

However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
has accused the "highest levels" of the Saudi government of ordering the hit, while some officials have pointed the finger at the all-powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
...Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as of 2016....
A Ottoman Turkish official this week confirmed a Sabah report that chemicals expert Ahmad Abdulaziz al-Janobi and toxicology expert Khaled Yahya al-Zahrani were among a team sent from Saudi amid investigations into the murder.

The paper said they visited the consulate every day from their arrival on October 11 until October 17. Saudi Arabia only allowed Ottoman Turkish police to search the building on October 15.

#5  A question:

That takes care of the soft tissue, but shouldn't bones and teeth still be around?

Drain cleaner. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

#1  But a retired dentist who has served as an "expert witness" in 2375 death penalty cases in the deep south of the US says he can recover fingerprints.
