Murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's fiancée has said "no-one has the right to pardon his killers" after his son said he forgave them.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

Hatice Cengiz, a Turkish citizen, tweeted that the "heinous murder does not have a statue of limitations".

Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi government, was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2018.

Saudi officials say this was a "rogue operation" not sanctioned by the state. This account has been doubted globally.

Among those questioning the official Saudi line were some intelligence agencies and the United Nations.

Khashoggi had been writing for the Washington Post newspaper and living in the US before his death.
