London [UK], June 5: An internet troll who posted "chilling" online messages threatening to kill "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling and former Labour Member of Parliament (MP) Rosie Duffield has been spared jail. Glenn Mullen, 31, uploaded audio clips in Gaelic threatening to kill Rowling "with a big hammer" and said he was "going to see Rosie Duffield at the bar with a big gun," Westminster Magistrates' Court in London heard on Tuesday. Mullen had been publicly identified as the poster of the audio clips by an online magazine shortly after they were posted on social media site X in January 2023, the court was told. He admitted the offences, two charges of sending an article conveying threatening messages, at an earlier hearing. (DPA)
