When people get filthy rich and powerful, sometimes they may feel like they are God and have power of another person's life.
The Saudis are very rich. Their crown prince is their de facto leader, young, burning with ambition and maybe does not take criticism lightly.
It's getting more apparent that this journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi embassy.
It's very wrong to murder someone just because they have different views. Leaders should be opened to criticism, otherwise they should not lead.
This reminds me of Malaysia. The murder of Tan Beng Hock while being interrogated for nothing (there was no case to start with, but a fishing exercise to find things to implicate Pakatan) and Altantuya.
Some when they have too much power, think they are invincible and can take others' lives.
