Report on Mohbad’s death probe not out

“When they (the pathologists) give us their report, we’ll conclude our investigation.

"For now, that’s what we’re waiting for. Except they want us to do guesswork, we can’t guess.

"We need to get the report and see the content of the result and we don’t have it yet.”
