Turkey: Police leave garage where Saudi consular vehicle was found

Turkish police were seen leaving a car parking garage where a Saudi consular vehicle had been discovered in Istanbul on Tuesday.
Surveillance footage released earlier on Tuesday showed an unidentified man leaving the vehicle, a black Mercedes-Benz saloon, in the garage in the Sultangazi district in the outskirts of Istanbul.
Police vehicles and a forensic team dressed in protective clothing were seen leaving the structure with their equipment.
The vehicle reportedly matches one visible in security footage from outside the Saudi consulate at the time Khashoggi is alleged to have been murdered.
Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi visited the consulate on October 2 to deal with paperwork relating to his upcoming marriage, but is confirmed to have died in unclear circumstances.
Turkish officials, including President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, claim that he was slain in a premeditated murder but Saudi officials initially maintained that Khashoggi left the consulate alive on the day of his visit. Following an internal investigation the Saudi government altered their position, in a statement released on October 19, and they now claim Kashoggi died as a result of a fight.
