Turkey's president has demanded that Saudi Arabia reveals where Jamal Khashoggi's body is.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan also claimed he has more evidence surrounding the journalist's death.

His comments come ahead of the Saudi public prosecutor's visit to Istanbul at the weekend.

Mr Erdogan said he will send the Turkish counterpart to meet them.

On Thursday, Saudi Arabia said the murder of Mr Khashoggi was premeditated, reversing previous official statements that the killing was unintended.


Investigators have taken water samples from a well at the country's consulate in the Turkish capital where the Washington Post columnist was killed earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Russia has backed Saudi Arabia, saying there is no reason to think the Saudi royal family is involved in the murder.

US President Donald Trump has also been briefed by the director of the CIA, who travelled to Turkey to review evidence.

Two sources have told Sky News that body parts belonging to Mr Khashoggi have been found.

They said he had been "cut up" and left with a "disfigured" face.

Saudi Arabia has said King Salman was not involved, but any major decision must be signed off by the highest powers within its ruling Al Saud family.

Mr Khashoggi's brother Sahel was also invited to a meeting at the Yamama Palace in Riyadh where the king and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed their condolences.

Saudi authorities have revoked a travel ban on his son Salah, allowing him to go to the US. His location is unknown.
