On Tuesday there were similar conflicting reports over whether Khashoggi's belongings had been found in suitcases in a Saudi diplomatic car.
How has the Saudi story changed?
First, Saudi Arabia said Khashoggi had left the building alive, then that he had been killed in a "fist-fight" inside the consulate.
An unnamed Saudi official told Reuters news agency on Sunday that Khashoggi had died in a chokehold after resisting attempts to return him to Saudi Arabia.
His body was then rolled in a rug and given to a local "co-operator" to dispose of, the official said.
Now, the public prosecutor seems to have accepted the Turkish line - that this murder was pre-planned.
It then said that Khashoggi had been murdered in a "rogue operation" that the leadership had not been aware of.
