on al-jazeera saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin someone has spoken publicly for the first time for the killing of saudi journalist. which he described as painful speaking in riyadh the crown prince insisted that justice will prevail in the case and all brits will be punished but it's been more than three weeks now since she was last seen at the saudi consulate in istanbul turkish investigators have now been given permission to search a well in the consulates garden. the u.k. meanwhile has announced it's following the u.s. and revoking the visas of saudi officials suspected of being involved in the murder . more now on the turkish investigation and the forensic team search for the body. alan fischer reports now from istanbul. even the routine looks suspicious now. i think the consular residence in istanbul they were cleaning sewers it happens a few times a year this street was due but with turkish forensic teams searching everywhere possible for clues to locate jamal khashoggi his body this takes on a new significance it's now about trying to piece together a complex gruesome jigsaw with huge international implications you would think that the whole effort would
