Journalist Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2
October to obtain papers he needed to get married. He never re-emerged.
Reports claimed that the Washington Post columnist had been tortured,
murdered and dismembered inside the building for his opposition to the
Riyadh regime.
Footage broadcast by Turkish media showed an apparent hit squad sent to
target Mr Khashoggi, including a member of Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman's entourage.
After Saudi Arabia confirmed Mr Khashoggi died inside the consulate, Sky
News looks at how events unfolded on the day the journalist was killed.
What does the footage show?
1. Footage shows Jamal Khashoggi entering the Saudi consulate after 1pm
on 2 October. His fiancee Hatice Cengiz waits outside the building.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Jamal Khashoggi arrives at consulate general."
2. Private jet carrying nine Saudis - said to be linked to Mr
Khashoggi's death - lands at Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul
after 3am on 2 October.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Nine individuals arriving at the airport with a private jet around 3.28am (12.28am GMT)."
3. Black vans drive on airport tarmac.
4. Saudis pass through airport security checkpoint.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Nine of the individuals entering airport from Terminal E at 3.37am (12.37am GMT)."
5) Saudis arrive at hotel lobby and reception, while two take a lift.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Nine of the individuals enter Movenpick Hotel on 2 October 2018 at 5.05am (2.05am GMT)."
6) Saudis leave the hotel.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Six of the individuals leaving Movenpick
Hotel in groups on 2 October 2018 at 9.40am (6.40am GMT) and 9.55am
(6.55am GMT)."
7) Member of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's entourage enters the consulate.
The man, identified as bodyguard Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, walks past
police barricades at the consulate at 9.55am with several men trailing
behind him.
7) Another group of Saudis arrive at a different hotel, along with a black car.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Seven of the individuals arrive at Wyand
Grande Hotel at different hours (that is being clarified) on 1 October
and 2 October 2018."
8) Man leaves hotel.
A caption in Turkish reads: "An individual leaving hotel on 2 October 2018 at 10.50am (7.50am GMT)."
9) A van and a black car arrive and leave the Saudi consulate.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Vehicles with plate numbers 34CC2248 and 34CC1865 leave consulate at 3.08pm (12.08pm GMT)."
10) A black van arrives at the Saudi consulate and enters a garage.
11) Mr Khashoggi's fiancee Hatice Cengiz waits outside the Saudi consulate.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Khashoggi's fiancee Hatice seen in front of consulate general at 5.33pm (2.33pm GMT)."
When Mr Khashoggi failed to come out of the consulate after several
hours, Hatice is understood to have called an adviser to the Turkish
president and a journalist friend to raise the alarm.
12) Saudis leave the hotel in groups.
Sky News has learned that Turkish authorities tried to set up roadblocks
to stop the alleged killers reaching the airport. They also put out a
call to the airport to stop them at passport control. It is thought
that, as many of the Saudi team had diplomatic status, they went through
a VIP section of the airport.
13) A white jeep and a private jet on airport tarmac.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Six of the individuals leaving airport from
terminal gate E on 2 October 2018 at 5.40pm (2.40pm GMT)."

14) Another group of Saudis leave by private jet.
A caption in Turkish reads: "Seven of the individuals leaving airport
from terminal gate E on 2 October 2018 at 9.00pm (6.00pm GMT) with a
private jet."
Sky News sources say one of the jets taking the team back to Saudi
Arabia was searched by Turkish police posing as cleaners - but they
found nothing.
