Students with links to the prestigious Oxford University Union have allegedly mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk and tried to silence others who did not agree.

A series of new messages, revealed in The Spectator, allegedly show that students took part in celebrating the conservative US influencer's death.

Those who did not agree claim they were 'intimidated into silence', it was reported.

In WhatsApp groups for incoming and current students wanting to join the debating society, one reportedly said Mr Kirk is 'looking up at us now' with a smiley face emoji, implying he had gone to hell.

Another member of the group was said to have declared that they did not 'feel bad' for his grieving widow, Erika Kirk.
