Welcome to the Voice of America's Newswords.
Journalist and Saudi government critic Jamal Khashoggi was killed at a Saudi consulate in Turkey in early October.
Culpable.
Khashoggi went to the consulate to get documents needed for his planned marriage.
Weeks later, Saudi Arabia admitted he was killed inside the building.
It said that 18 people were arrested in connection with a plot to kill him.
Turkey says people close to the Saudi leadership are culpable for his death.
If a person or group is culpable of an action, they are responsible for it.
Culpable also means being guilty of doing something wrong.
