Turkey’s president has publicly demanded the whereabouts of the body of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, shooting down a wild rumor that Khashoggi’s body was found in a well in on the grounds of the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, where the journalist was killed.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan told lawmakers of his Justice and Development Party (AKP) on Tuesday that he wanted to know where Khashoggi’s body was.

“Where is the body of Jamal Khashoggi?” Erdogan said. “No one knows until now.”

On Monday Doğu Perinçek, the chairman of Turkey’s left-wing nationalist Patriotic Party, claimed that parts of Khashoggi’s body was found in a well in the garden of the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

It is not clear where he got that information from, or whether he was privy to Turkey’s intelligence.

Erdogan also alluded to Saudi claims, made anonymously to Reuters on Sunday, that Khashoggi’s body had been rolled up in a rug and given to a local person for disposal.

That claim comes in contrast to that by Turkish intelligence, which says that Khashoggi’s body was dismembered, according to news outlets including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Erdogan said on Tuesday: “There is a claim that the body of Khashoggi has been given to a local person. I am asking: Who is that local person?

“No one is talking about this local person. Someone has said that it was a local person. You need to reveal the name of this local person. No one is allowed to think that this case will come to an end without answering any of these questions.”

Turkish officials have continually leaked intelligence reports about Khashoggi’s killing to US and Turkish media outlets, as well as issued bold statements on the record implicating the Saudi leadership in the death.

Experts say this shows that Turkey is trying to extract some kind of concession from Saudi Arabia, which could come in the form of new contracts or an informal payment.
