In 2018 Al Jazeera reported that Tubaigy was involved in the murder and dismembering of Jamal Khashoggi. A source said "Tubaigy began to cut Khashoggi’s body up on a table in the study while he was still alive... As he started to dismember the body, Tubaigy put on earphones and listened to music. He advised other members of the squad to do the same."
