A prisoner has appeared in court having been charged with making threats to kill.

Hassanan Raja, 27, an inmate at HMP Wayland, is said to have made a threat to kill another person during a telephone call made from the prison on November 10 last year.

Raja, of HMP Wayland, appeared at Norwich Magistrates Court via videolink on Friday (August 5) when he gave no indication of his plea to the matter.

The case was formally sent by magistrates to Norwich Crown Court on September 2.

Raja, a serving prisoner, was remanded in custody until the next hearing.

He was represented in court by Michael Cole.
