The latest official leaks from Turkey [which so far have proven totally correct - likely to to having in some way bugged the Saudi Embassy] state that after being strangled immediately upon entry into the Embassy, he was immediately dismembered and then dissolved in acid. There is one rumor his head was brought back to Saudi. Also, this team of 15 have done this several times before to other targets who were considered enemies of the state in Saudi Arabia. Great political leadership. I still want to know what their involvement was in 911...I know they did not mastermind it, but they seem to have been way up there in funding and involvement!
While I feel it is totally appropriate to be upset, as so many are, at the horrible and illegal execution of Kashogghi, there is quite a bit of ignored irony in that Turkey has jailed and tortured many journalists and opponents, also that no one seems to speak of the infinitely more horrible daily death toll in Yemen - at the hands of Saudi, USA and others - and that even in the USA we have political prisoners who were only acting as journalists - and have even executed some or they sit on death row [not to mention all the persons we have tortured or killed without trial]......many other nations acting self-righteous about Kashogghi also have blood on their hands.
