Three members of the Saudi hit squad that killed Jamal Khashoggi live in “seven-star” villas in government security compound

Family members are reportedly allowed to visit the men, and the “seven-star” housing units include gyms and offices

Multiple members of the Saudi hit squad that brutally murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October 2018 are living in luxury villas in a government-run Saudi security compound, according to the Guardian.

According to the report, at least three of the killers are residing and working in villas operated by the Saudi State Security Agency, in a compound in Riyadh. Family members are reportedly allowed to visit the men, and the “seven-star” housing units include gyms and offices.

The Guardian reported that Salah al-Tubaigy, the forensic expert who dismembered Khashoggi, was seen inside the compound. Mustafa al-Madani, the man who posed as Khashoggi’s body double, and Mansour Abahussein, the lead operative, were also spotted in sightings between 2019 and 2020.

Over the last two years, witnesses saw caterers, family members, and gardeners visiting the men, the Guardian reported.

Khashoggi, a prominent commentator and columnist for The Washington Post, was once within the Royal family’s circle, but their opinion of him soured once his work became critical of the family’s dealings.
