ISTANBUL — In the continuing frenzy of media attention to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi before a much-anticipated statement by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish media have published poignant photographs of Mr. Khashoggi and his fiancée in the last hours and days of his life.

Mr. Khashoggi and Hatice Cengiz, who is Turkish, are seen holding hands as they visit the local marriage office and enter the building where they had bought an apartment that they were furnishing before he went to the appointment at the Saudi Consulate from which he never emerged.

Ms. Cengiz has been provided with police protection, according to Metmet Fatih Oke, director of the Turkish Arab Media Association and a friend of Mr. Khashoggi. Ms. Cengiz had not come under any specific threat, but the protection was a precaution, he said.

Social media trolls have attacked Ms. Cengiz in Arabic and Turkish in recent days, questioning the extent of her relationship with Mr. Khashoggi. ...

These were the last words of Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi. Maybe something like it will be true here.

Hatice Cengiz went through when it became apparent Mr. Khashoggi did not come out of the building. Did she have anyone to comfort her? I am so sick and sad at what she has to live with forever.
