“I talked about that with the Saudi authorities and I just hope that it happens soon.”
Turkey’s chief prosecutor said recently that Khashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered the consulate and also confirmed the body was dismembered.
Yasin Aktay, an advisor to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, hinted in an article published on Friday that the body may even have been destroyed in acid.
Khashoggi’s killing has provoked widespread outrage and sharp criticism from Washington, usually the staunchest of allies.
Khashoggi’s sons voiced worry that the work of their father, a columnist for The Washington Post, was being distorted for political reasons.
“I see a lot of people coming out right now and trying to claim his legacy and unfortunately some of them are using that in a political way that we totally don’t agree with,” Salah told CNN.
“My fear is that it’s being over politicised.”
“Jamal was never a dissident. He believed in the monarchy, that it is the thing that is keeping the country together.”
The brothers said they have relied primarily on news reports to piece together an understanding of their father’s death.
“There’s a lot of ups and downs. We’re trying to get the story — bits and pieces of the story to complete the whole picture,” Abdullah said.
“It’s confusing and difficult.”
“It’s not a normal situation and not a normal death.”
Salah emphasised that “the King has stressed that everybody will be brought to justice. And I have faith in that.”
The murdered journalist’s fiancee meanwhile has called on United States President Donald Trump to back Turkey’s efforts to probe the death.
