All the facts and details surrounding the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and those who killed him must be brought to light, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

Erdogan said he had not met Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during the G20 summit, but insisted that he needed to shed light on the perpetrators of Khashoggi's killing.

The Turkish President has repeatedly criticized Saudi Arabia and singled out the crown prince after the 59-year-old journalist was killed after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018.

"It is first of all MBS who needs to shed light on this because he promised me during our phone call, but until now nothing had been done," Erdogan said.

He reiterated that the suspects must also be tried in Istanbul because "the incident took place in our country."

"There are certain suspects that we know of and they need to be tried in Istanbul because that's where the crime was committed.”

While Saudi Arabia initially denied any knowledge of Khashoggi's death, officials later said a group of rogue operators were responsible -- many of whom belong to the Saudi crown prince's inner circle.
