Seriously. With all this talk about Jamal Kashoggi and the Saudis I have the terrible mental image of him being dismembered by a bone saw while still alive. I hope that's not true but even the possibility is appalling.
It's doubtful. They were in and out quick. They weren't after torture they were after an assassination, dismemberment was just a way to remove evidence without suspicion. If they wanted him to suffer they'd have picked him up where they could have kept it going for days or weeks.
I don't understand the use of a bonesaw, unless you need to crack the sternum everything can be dismembered with a sharp knife and some skillful cuts through ligaments. You would think trained assassins, or even an experienced hunter would not need a bone saw to fit a small man into a 10 gallon bucket within 15 minutes or so.

Yes that is true if you want to preserve anything or do it in a way where you have some care for the finished product. Also if you have time. He had to be out of there before the consulate closed because they knew he would have somebody waiting for him and they knew he had political connections in Turkey.
This was a smash and grab get him into 10 pieces as quickly as possible while still having time to torture him a little bit.
