To the Editor:Re “Erdogan Asserts Saudis Arranged ‘Savage Murder’” (front page, Oct. 24):Among the most damning evidence of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s likely involvement in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi is the fate of the Saudis who have been “arrested” for their role in the allegedly rogue operation. If they had in fact undertaken such a plan without the prince’s knowledge or authorization and botched it as badly as they did — resulting in such serious repercussions for both M.B.S. and the kingdom — they almost certainly would have been summarily beheaded, given the Saudis’ modus operandi in such matters. The fact that they are still apparently alive and unharmed speaks volumes. Michael SilkLaguna Woods, Calif.
