Updated 20 Oct: UK Mirror: Saudi bodyguard ‘who killed Jamal Khashoggi’ was welcomed at No.10 Downing Street in Crown Prince entourage
Four suspected ‘hitmen’ came to Britain during the Saudi crown prince’s state visit in March and one was seen emerging from a car near number 10, according to reports

Former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers said “all the evidence” suggested the journalist had been murdered on the orders of someone close to the crown prince, the kingdom’s de facto ruler.
He said he did not believe the prince would have acted in the way he did unless he believed he had been given “licence” to do so by the US administration of Donald Trump.
“All the evidence points to it being ordered and carried out by people close to Mohammed bin Salman,” Sir John told BBC Radio 4’s The World At One.
“I don’t think he would have done this if he hadn’t thought he had licence from the US administration to frankly behave as he wished to do so.
“I think President Trump and his ministerial team are waking up to just how dangerous it is to have people acting with a sense that they have impunity in their relationship with the United States.”...

Since leaving office, Sawers has taken up two influential private-sector jobs and followed his predecessors at MI6, Sir John Scarlett and Sir Richard Dearlove, into a network of small, London-based private intelligence and strategic consultancy firms that advise top corporate clients, from sovereign wealth funds to blue-chip companies and foreign governments.

Three months after leaving MI6, Sawers became chairman of Macro Advisory Partners, a small consultancy with ties to former UK government figures and one of Barack Obama’s top intelligence advisers. He also joined the board of BP, a move which Lobban has since mirrored by taking on an advisory role to the board of Shell.
Fresh details about Sawers’ activities with Macro Advisory Partners emerged after the Guardian reported last week on the former intelligence chiefs’ private-sector appointments. Scrutiny of his work comes amid a contentious debate in the UK about the powers enjoyed by the security and intelligence agencies...
When Macro Advisory Partners appointed Sawers, it also took on a senior intelligence figure from the US. Mona Sutphen, a partner at the company’s New York office, previously served as deputy chief of staff to Obama and sat on the Clinton administration’s national security council.
Sutphen now advises the president on US intelligence activities and the oversight of agencies such as the CIA and NSA. As one of a handful of distinguished advisors, Sutphen has “full access to the complete range of intelligence-related information”, according to the White House’s information on the role. Sutphen and Claydon both previously worked at UBS, advising on macro strategy and geopolitical risk.
Sawers has also been joined by Mike Daly, a veteran BP executive who left the oil company in 2013, while more junior staff include a former analyst at Booz Allen Hamilton, the defence and intelligence company where Snowden worked as an NSA contractor before turning whistleblower...
Sawers, who has given a range of interviews to CNN, the BBC and Financial Times over the past year, has continued to make the case that the intelligence agencies should have broad powers...

The plans were rejected by the National Security Council as too ambitious...

How about this...
Khashoggi was raised in Saudi Arabia with his family. He received his elementary and secondary education in Saudi Arabia, then went on to attend college at Indiana State University, receiving a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1982.
There are several high profile individuals in the Khashoggi family, most notably Khashoggi’s uncle, Adnan Khashoggi, who is a high-profile Saudi arms dealer worth billions.
Khashoggi’s grandfather was a Turkish man who married a Saudi woman and eventually became the court physician to King Abdulaziz, who is described by Fortune as the “founder of modern Saudi Arabia.”
Little is known about Khashoggi’s parents. He does not appear to have any siblings
