Saudi Arabia has, for the first time, admitted that journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
An announcement on Saudi media claimed Khashoggi died during a brawl between him and those he went to the consulate to meet.
Eighteen Saudi nationals have been arrested in connection with the death and at least five prominent officials have been sacked.
The story cut against the impressions given by Turkish investigators and left more questions than answers, including what happened to the journalist’s remains.
Al Jazeeraโ€™s Andrew Simmons reports from Istanbul.
