Saudi journalist Jamal Kashoggi, who is severe critic of
Saudi leaders, disappearence is in a climax. It is said that he was killed by a
special team of 15, sent to Istanbul on 2nd october by Saudi Arabia.
Among them Dr. Salah Muhammad al-Tubaigy is particularly identified as the
killer of Jamal Kashoggi. He is a forensic expert and learned to carry out
autopsies. There are several reports about this claim.
On 18th october British newspaper The Daily
Mail reported that, the man accused of butchering Saudi journalist Jamal
Kashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul is a doctor who trained in Britain - it has
been revealed. Salah Muhammad al-Tubaigy, who is known as a 'forensic
expert', studied pathology at the University of Glasgow in 2004 and learned how to carry out
autopsies.
He was pictured jetting into Istanbul on the day
Khashoggi went missing on October 2 and has since been linked to his murder by
an audio recording taken on the journalist's Apple watch.
In the seven-minute tape, Tubaigy can reportedly be heard
leading the brutal dismembering of Khashoggi's body.
Tubaigy was identified by an anonymous source as telling
others in the squad to put headphones in while he set about cutting the victim
into pieces on a desk. According to the source, who spoke to Middle East Eye,
Tubaigy, who also holds a position within the Saudi Interior Ministry, said:
'When I do this job, I listen to music.'
The tape is said to reveal Mr Khashoggi was dragged from
the Saudi Consul General's office to a table in a next-door study, where he was
surgically dismembered, before he was 'injected with an unknown drug' and fell
silent.
Dr. Salah Al-Tubaigy was pictured at Istanbul's Ataturk
airport on October 2, raising more suspicion around his involvement in the
alleged torture case.
Tubaigy identifies himself on his Twitter account as head
of the Saudi Scientific Council of Forensics.
He has not publicly addressed the allegations. None of
the suspects could be reached for comment.
The Times said on Wednesday that at least nine of the 15
worked for the Saudi security services, military or other government
ministries.
The newspaper said it gathered more information about the
suspects through facial recognition software, a database of Saudi cellphone
numbers, leaked Saudi government documents, witnesses and media.
The Times said three other suspects are Abdulaziz
Mohammed al-Hawsawi - a member of the security team that travels with Prince
Mohammed - Thaar Ghaleb al-Harbi, and Muhammed Saad Alzahrani.
Harbi and Alzahrani have the same names as two people who
have been identified as members of the Saudi Royal Guard, the Times said.
