Turkey said Friday that it has detained two people suspected of spying on behalf of the United Arab Emirates and is investigating whether the suspects were connected to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi last year, according to a statement from Turkey’s state-run news agency.
But how a Facebook post by one of the suspects might have linked him to the murder crime?
On January 21st (2019), Samer Sameeh Shaban, one of the alleged UAE spies, published a post on his alleged account on the social media platform Facebook that shows Dubai as his location and reads "After 4 months of absence":

Surprisingly, the 4 months period is the same period that passed from October 2nd (2018), when the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered inside his country's consulate in Istanbul city, Turkey!
The 4 months before January 21st (2019) matches October 21st (2018) which is 3 weeks after the Jamal Khashoggi death date. If the 4 months was a rough estimate and he actually traveled to Dubai slightly before October 21st (2018), a question is raised: Was the trip linked to the hiding tactic after the crime, or to the planning to arrest Jamal Khashoggi last year, the operation that led to his death?
