Canada offered to help Turkey investigate the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, but the Turks never took up the proposal.
Documents from Global Affairs Canada obtained by CBC News under Access to Information law show that in October 2018, then-foreign affairs minister Chrystia Freeland told her Turkish counterpart Canada would be happy to send investigators to help probe the death of the prominent Saudi journalist and dissident.
Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and well-known critic of the government of Saudi Arabia, was killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul early in October 2018 when he tried to pick up a marriage document for him and his Turkish fiancé.
Investigations have pinned responsibility for his death on Saudi Arabia. His dismembered remains have never been found.
