My comments :  Well folks all this is a lie. A complete lie. The Saudi government is now publicly on the record for lying about this murder.

Those FIVE fellows may or may not be executed. Who knows. They will possibly chop the heads of five unknown criminals at 3 am in the morning and say the five Kashoggi murderers have been executed. Or they may drop sand bags from a hang rope. Anything is possible with these folks.

The point to note is this :  body parts handed over to agent outside consulate spokesman said

So now its an official statement. The Turks have already said that this is a lie (bukan saya cakap tau). The Turks say there is no such thing as an 'agent' who handled the body parts.

But since this is an official statement by the government of Saudi Arabia, the Turks will ask "Who is the agent"? How did they contact him? Where did they meet the agent? How were the body parts handed over to the agent? What time did they call the agent? and so on. 

I think the Turks have also not handed over ALL the recordings that they have of the murder.  It has already come to light that the Saudis offered Erdogan a very large sum of money to cover up the murder - which Erdogan turned down. So they say. 

If those tape recordings are not made public then we know Erdogan has made a deal with both the US and Saudi Arabia. This is the Middle East snake pit. Anything is possible.
