An audio recording has revealed the harrowing last words of journalist Jamal Khahsoggi as he was brutally killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October.
A source, who read a translated transcript of the recording, said that the journalist repeated several times 'I can't breathe' moments before his death.
The recording also captured the horrific sounds of Khashoggi's body being dismembered with a saw - while his alleged killers were told to listen to music to block out the noise.
The shocking recording has thrown even more doubt on Saudi claims that the killing was a botched rendition attempt and not an execution.
Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi repeatedly told his captors he couldn't breathe as he was killed in October
Khashoggi can be heard struggling against his captors - who make a series of phone calls during his torture.
The calls suggest that the killers were keeping higher-ups updated with their butchering of the journalist.
Turkish officials claim the calls were made to senior figures in Riyadh.
The transcript, shared by CNN, tracks the moment Khashoggi first entered the consulate to pick up papers that would let him marry his Turkish finacee, Hatice Cengiz, who was waiting for him outside.
It was supposed to be a routine appointment, but the journalist was then confronted by a man he recognised and did not expect to be at the consulate.
Khashoggi can be heard asking the man what he is doing there.
According to CNN, the man is Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, a former Saudi diplomat and intelligence official working for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and known to Khashoggi from their time together at the Saudi Embassy in London.
He can be heard telling Khashoggi: 'You are coming back'.

The journalist can be heard arguing back and saying that there are people waiting for him outside.
He is believed to have told his waiting fiancee to call associates if he didn't return.
Khashoggi is then set on by a several people, according to the transcript.
Despite Saudi officials suggesting he was accidentally choked to death, the journalist can be heard repeating: 'I can't breathe.'
The transcript notes that Khashoggi screams and gasps before dying and his body is then sawed.
The only other person named in the transcript is Dr Salah Muhammad al-Tubaiqi, the head of forensic medicine at Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry
Tubaiqi can be heard advising people to listen to music as they dismember the dead journalist.
Mutreb, who is updating someone throughout, then says: 'Tell yours, the thing is done, it's done.'
According to CNN, the transcript has been circulated to Turkish and Saudi allies, including those in Europe, but only the United States and Saudi Arabia have received the recording itself.
The office of one US senator, who has received a briefing on the investigation by CIA Director Gina Haspel, told CNN that the source's recollections of the transcript are 'consistent' with that briefing.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
