The sons of late journalist Jamal Khashoggi issued an appeal for the return of their father's body and said they wanted to return to Saudi Arabia to bury him.
In an interview with CNN, Salah and Abdullah Khashoggi said that without their father's body, their family is unable to grieve and deal with the emotional burden of his death.
"All what we want right now is to bury him in Al Baqi (cemetery) in the holy city of Madinah with the rest of his family," Salah Khashoggi said. "I talked about it with the Saudi authorities and I just hope that it happens soon."
Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist, was killed after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2. Khashoggi's body has not been recovered, and Saudi authorities are conducting an official investigation.
Salah Khashoggi on October 24 met in Riyadh with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, and the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to receive condolences along with other Khashoggi family members. Salah departed for Washington a day later, and his CNN interview was his first public comments since then.
He said King Salman assured him that those involved in Jamal Khashoggi's murder would be brought to justice.
"We just need to make sure that he rests in peace," Salah Khashoggi said of his father.
"Until now, I still can't believe that he's dead. It's not sinking in with me emotionally," he said, adding that there has been a lot of "misinformation" about the circumstances of the death.
Asked how Khashoggi should be remembered, Salah replied, "As a moderate man who has common values with everyone ... a man who loved his country, who believed so much in it and its potential."
"Jamal was never a dissident. He believed in the monarchy, that it is the thing that is keeping the country together. And he believed in the transformation that it is going through."
