The threatening behaviour charge stated Mitchell had told staff at the hospital he had killed or mutilated animals on a number of occasions and he intended to murder members of the public in the future.

The court heard there was no report available for Mitchell, address listed as Low Moss Prison.

Sheriff Christopher Shead continued the case until October 3 to allow more time for the report to be completed.
