The audio recorded during the murder of Jamal Khashoggi paints a horrific scene inside the consulate in Istanbul as the writer was brutally killed — a crime allegedly carried out by the orders of the Saudi government.
Khashoggi struggled with his killers before uttering his last words, “I can’t breathe.” “I can’t breathe.” “I can’t breathe.”, according to CNN, citing a source who read the transcript.
The transcript reveals ‘sounds of Khashoggi’s body being dismembered by a saw, as the alleged perpetrators are advised to listen to music to block out the sound,’ the report said.
The assassins can also be heard in the audio making phone calls, briefing someone about the progress of the attack.
Khashoggi was a Saudi Arabian journalist, author, and editor-in-chief of Al-Arab News Channel before being assassinated at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul on October 2nd.
Khashoggi had been sharply critical of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammad bin Salman, and the country’s king, Salman of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi officials deny involvement in the killing.
