Saudis deny permission to inspect well in consulate’s garden: report

Saudi authorities denied permission to Turkish police to search a well in the garden of the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul as part of a probe into the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, state media reports.

Turkish police this month searched the consulate twice, and the residence of the Saudi consul general, to gather evidence into what President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says was a “savage murder” of Khashoggi.

Basing its report on security sources, the Anadolu news agency reports that Turkish police “were denied authorization by Saudi officials to search the well in the consulate garden.”
