London, Oct 25 (AFP) British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday "strongly urged" Saudi Arabia to cooperate with the Turkish investigation into the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi in a phone call with Saudi King Salman, according to her office.

"The prime minister said the current explanation lacks credibility so there remains an urgent need to establish exactly what happened," a Downing Street spokeswoman said in a statement following the telephone conversation.

"She strongly urged Saudi Arabia to cooperate with the Turkish investigation and to be transparent about the results." (AFP) CK
