Daily Mail/AFP: Saudi Arabia will BEHEAD Khashoggi killers: Prosecutors charge 11 suspects and say five face the death penalty for murdering journalist with a lethal injection - but Crown Prince is cleared
* Saudi Arabia has charged 11 men with murdering journalist Jamal Khashoggi
* Kingdom will seek death penalty against five of those directly involved in killing
* But prosecutor said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was not involved
* Saudi believes Khashoggi was killed with lethal injection, then dismembered
* Foreign minister said 'mistakes happen' but killers will now be brought to justice
Five Saudi officials are facing the death penalty after being accused of murdering journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Shalaan al-Shalaan, the kingdom's deputy public prosecutor, revealed on Thursday that 21 people are in custody over the killing and charges have been brought against 11 of them.
Al-Shalaan requested the death penalty for five who 'are charged with ordering and committing the crime and for the appropriate sentences for the other indicted individuals'.
But he exonerated Saudi's de-facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman by laying ultimate blame for Khashoggi's killing at the feet of two lesser officials.
Executions in Saudi Arabia are usually carried out publicly by beheading with a sword.
