After New Mexico police revealed they’d uncovered an alleged murder-for-hire plot to kill Justin Bieber, the Canadian pop star’s management has released a statement saying they take “every precaution to protect and insure the safety of Justin and his fans.”
Other than that, the star and his security team have been tight-lipped about how seriously they take the threat.
News of the bizarre assassination plot made news around the world Wednesday after Albuquerque’s KRQE reported that Mark Staake, 41, and his nephew Tanner Ruane, 23, had allegedly been hired to castrate and murder the singer.
The puppet master behind the scheme is Dana Martin — currently serving a 978-year term for rape and murder — who allegedly turned to Staake in Las Cruces prison, offering him a $2,500 bounty for each of Bieber’s testicles, according to a police affidavit.
The alleged plot was planned right down to the paisley tie that would be used to strangle the star.

“I was going to go ‘Snip, Snip,’” Ruane had said to Martin in a recorded jailhouse conversation, according to investigator Clinton Norris of the New Mexico state police.
Four people in total are said to have been targeted in Martin’s alleged murder-for-hire scheme: Bieber, one of the pop star’s bodyguards and two of Martin’s former acquaintances in Vermont, where Ruane and Staake were arrested.
In a strange twist, the plot reportedly broke down when Martin himself told police about his hired guns before they could carry out the murders.
Martin, 45, is said to be obsessed with Bieber, and has a tattoo of the singer on his leg. He’d sent several letters to the star and became upset after he didn’t get a response. “This perceived slight made Mr. Martin upset,” the police report reads.

Considering that the Bimboboy has pretty much murdered music, talent, ability, and manliness, what’s the problem?
NEW MEXICO PING!!
Castration? You mean Justin actually has testicles? Who knew? This boy is gay and doesn’t know it yet. He HAS to be gay because so many girls love him.
Castrate Bieber??? I’m stuned! I assumed someone had already done that. If not, it’s not going to be a very stealthy, get-in-and-get-out type operation — just the search phase alone could take weeks, not to mention the dexterity it’s going to take to remove something that small and well concealed once you DO find them.
They should give Martin another 700 years just for being obsessed with Beeber.
Isnt it a sad state of affairs this country that Justin Bieber is getting more security detail than our Ambassador in Benghazi
Could have attacked an embassy and gotten away with it.
One can see castration of a Bieber but not murder. Castration may improve the boy soprano’s voice.
I remember Mr. Vengeance implanted testicles into Menudo and ruined their careers. BTW, no Canadian hockey team has won the Stanley Cup since he was born.
You got that right!
Almost as sad, is that I actually know who Justin Bieber is.
Just profile all the micro-surgeons where ever he has a concert.

Who says God did not make gays? It must be some sort of joke that God made on us. No matter what, I hope that Justin just stays in the closet no matter what.

Sarah, the thing is that Justin pays his own way. The Ambassador wanted the tax payers too....it is safer paying your own way.
I dont see how anyone could be so jealous of this 18 yr old?
On top of his riches,fame and very handsome face....
his listed height is 5’6” which in reality means he’s actually 5’5” or perchance less. No grown man is jealous of a 5’5”er.
Who’s the girl second from the right?
(I know...I know...)
Justin Bieber. casteration would that be Micro-surgery?
Apparently Justin doesn't. The few times I've seen him perform on TV he always has his hands down there like he checking...
