Eleven Saudi suspects were put on trial over his death in secretive proceedings in Riyadh."The court issued death sentences on five men who directly took part in the killing," the prosecutor said in a statement.

Maher Mutreb, an intelligence operative who frequently travelled with the crown prince on foreign tours, forensic expert Salah al-Tubaigy and Fahad al-Balawi, a member of the Saudi royal guard, were among the 11 on trial, sources have told AFP.The sources said that many of those accused defended themselves in court by saying they were carrying out orders by Assiri, describing him as the"ringleader" of the operation.
