Troll who threatened to kill ‘very horrible’ JK Rowling ‘with a big hammer’ warned he faces jail
A TROLL who threatened to kill JK Rowling “with a big hammer” has been warned he faces jail.
Glenn Mullen, 31, sent audio messages in Scottish Gaelic to the Harry Potter author on X/Twitter in January 2023.
He said: “I’m going to kill JK Rowling with a big hammer.
“JK Rowling is very horrible and I hate her so much.”
In a message to Labour MP Rosie Duffield, also opposed to trans reforms, he said: “I’m going to kill Rosie Duffield with a big gun. I hate her so much.”
Mullen, of Manchester, admitted two charges of sending a communication conveying a threatening message.
He was bailed for sentencing on June 4.
Westminster chief magistrate Paul Goldspring said: “You will get credit for your early guilty plea.
“I accept that you entered it at the earliest possible opportunity.
“The threats are so serious that I am considering immediate custody.
“I know nothing about you.
“I need to find out about the motivation for your offending.”
