A defiant Mohamed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, called the murder of Jamal Khashoggi a “heinous crime that is painful to all Saudis.
In his first public comments since the murder, bin Salman added: “All legal things [are being done] to finalise the investigation to co-operate with the Turkish government, to present the perpetrators to the court.
"Some are using it to drive a wedge between Saudi and Turkey."
They will not be able to do that as long as there is a king called King Salman and a Crown Prince called Mohamed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia and a President in turkey called Erdogan.
"This wedge will not happen. All perpetrators will be taken to court."
He was speaking at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, an event organised by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, and designed to encourage foreign investment in Saudi.
