Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman remains “the chief suspect” in the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, an adviser to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said after meeting the United Nations representative probing the murder.

Turkey will allow UN special rapporteur Agnes Callamard to listen to voice recordings of Khashoggi’s last moments, according to Yasin Aktay, an Erdogan aide at the ruling AK Party. Callamard is in Turkey to examine the circumstances surrounding the murder of Khashoggi, who entered the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 but never left.
