Turkish Police Search Villa in Jamal Khashoggi Probe

Istanbul: Turkish police on Monday searched a villa in the village of Samanli, in Yalova province, in connection with the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. According to the state-run Anadolu news agency, officers searched a well in the garden and used sniffer dogs and drones for help with the search. Last month, President Erdogan had mentioned Yalova as one of the areas a group of Saudis scouted before Khashoggi was killed, CNN reported. This is the first search law enforcement officials have made public since multiple locations were searched last month, including the Saudi consulate, the consul general’s residence, and a forest on the outskirts of Istanbul.
