Turkey: Khashoggi search underway at Saudi consul's Istanbul home

A Turkish police search was underway in the Saudi consul's residence in Istanbul on Tuesday, as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Footage from outside the residence shows police officers and journalists gathering in front of the residence into the evening hours, with the residence's street being cordoned off.
Earlier on Tuesday, a Turkish investigative team left the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul after searching it for nine hours for DNA traces of Khashoggi.
Khashoggi went to the consulate on October 2 to prepare documents for his upcoming marriage but has not been seen since. His fiancee claims to have waited outside for 11 hours but says he did not return. So far, Saudi authorities maintain that Khashoggi left the building on the same afternoon as his visit.
Turkish officials allege that Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered in the building by Saudi agents and claim to have found evidence to support these allegations. According to the official Saudi news agency, an official at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul denied any wrongdoing and condemned the allegations.
