A Saudi court has overruled five death sentences in a final ruling over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Eight defendants were convicted of the murder, with five handed a 20-year sentence and the remaining three given seven to 10 years imprisonment.

Khashoggi’s sons pardoned the killers and spared the lives of the five given death sentences in May. Khashoggi’s body was never found after he went missing in October 2018 while visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Image: Getty
