UK government will revoke visas of suspects related to the killing of the Saudi journalist and dissident, Jamal Khashoggi, the Independent reported.

"The claim that has been made that Mr Khashoggi died in a fight does not amount to a credible explanation, so there does remain an urgent need to establish exactly what has happened. The home secretary is taking action against all suspects to prevent them entering the UK and if these individuals currently having visas, those visas will be revoked today,” said the UK Prime Minister Theresa May.

She will hold phone talks with the leadership of Saudi Arabia in this regard.

May said ministers have made clear that the Saudi officials must "cooperate with Turkey and conduct a full and credible investigation".
