A 48-year-old Diego Mar­tin man has been charged with three counts of threats to kill and four counts of mis­use of an elec­tron­ic de­vice, fol­low­ing an in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to threats made via so­cial me­dia against Sen­a­tor Dr Amery Browne.

Re­ports in­di­cate that on No­vem­ber 19, 2025, Browne dis­cov­ered threat­en­ing com­ments post­ed by a Face­book user on his per­son­al page. The com­ments, made in re­sponse to pub­lic posts from No­vem­ber 8 and 9, con­tained threats to kill the sen­a­tor and his chil­dren. The vic­tim con­firmed to in­ves­ti­ga­tors that he had no pri­or con­nec­tion to the user.

The sus­pect lat­er vol­un­tar­i­ly sur­ren­dered to of­fi­cers at the West End Po­lice Sta­tion. He was sub­se­quent­ly charged by W/Cpl Cobb of the Crim­i­nal In­ves­ti­ga­tions De­part­ment (Area East).
