Turkey's Erdogan: Khashoggi murder was part of a planned operation

Turkish president Erdogan comments on the death of Khashoggi

• Questions "who ordered those 15 persons to gather in Istanbul?"
• Asks why is it that Saudi's statements have been inconsistent
• No one should expect the case to be closed without answers
• Says that scapegoating a few officials won't satisfy any one
• Has no doubt about sincerity of Saudi king
• But says that those giving orders for the murder must be taken to account

Erdogan basically stating his view that Jamal Khashoggi's death is a planned murder and not the result of a "commotion". Earlier in the day, Trump labelled it as a "death plot gone awry".

This will only add further mounting pressures on Saudi Arabia as international pressures begin to intensify.
