ISTANBUL - Crime scene investigators have

found two suitcases and possessions believed to belong to slain

Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi during a search of a Saudi

consulate car in Istanbul, broadcaster CNN Turk reported on

Tuesday.

A Reuters witness said a Saudi team was accompanying the

Turkish investigators as they carried out the search in a car

park where the vehicle was found in Istanbul's Sultangazi

district on Monday.

On its website, CNN Turk said the investigators found a

computer and documents in the car which were said to belong to

Khashoggi.

Turkish officials suspect Khashoggi was killed and

dismembered inside the consulate by Saudi agents on Oct. 2. He

did not appear to be carrying belongings when he entered the

consulate on that day, according to video footage.

The search of the vehicle in the car park has been halted

and will resume on Wednesday morning, the broadcaster said.
