A documentary by Al Jazeera Arabic that aired on Sunday alleges that the body of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was likely burned in a large oven at the Saudi consulate general’s residence in Istanbul,

The documentary revealed new details of the writer’s murder by a Saudi assassination team quoting Turkish officials as saying that the burning of Khashoggi’s body took place over a period of three days, Turkish officials said.

Turkish investigators also found traces of Khashoggi’s blood on the walls of the Saudi consul’s office after removing paint that the assassination team applied after killing of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist, on October 2.

The documentary was based on interviews with security officials, politicians, and some of Khashoggi’s Turkish friends.
