RIYADH - A Saudi court on Monday overturned five death sentences over journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder in a final ruling that jailed eight defendants for between seven and 20 years, state media reported.
None of the defendants were named in what was described as the final court ruling on the killing which had sparked an international outcry. The family's pardon spared the lives of five unnamed people sentenced to death over the 2018 murder in a December court ruling, which was lambasted by human rights groups after two top aides to the crown prince were exonerated.
