Two New Mexico men arrested in a murder-for-hire plot were planning to strangle and castrate pop star Justin Bieber and his bodyguard, according to KRQE-TV.

Mark Staake, 41, and his 23-year-old nephew Tanner Ruane were arrested late last month in Vermont. They were accused of plotting to kidnap and kill four people on behalf of Dana Martin, who is serving two life sentences for the 2000 rape and murder of a Vermont girl in 200. Staake met Martin in Las Cruces state prison.

Tuesday, KRQE, citing investigators, said the Canadian performer and his bodyguard were two of the targets.

Vermont police arrested Mark Staake, of Albuquerque, N.M., for probation violation Nov. 19 at a Canadian border crossing. He is accused of plotting to kill and castrate four people, including Justin Bieber.

A New Mexico police affidavit states Staake and Ruane allegedly planned to first travel from New Mexico to Vermont and kill two witnesses to Martin's crime, then hit Bieber.

The plot allegedly was planned for when Bieber performed sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Nov. 27 and Nov. 28. Police said the 45-year-old Martin was obsessed with Bieber and has a tattoo of him on one of his legs.

Police said Martin directed the would-be hit men to strangle Bieber and the others with a paisley tie, Martin's "calling card," KRQE said. But he apparently changed his mind and ratted out Staake and Ruane before they could act.

Staake was arrested in Vermont on outstanding warrants, but police let Ruane go. Police recorded phone calls Ruane made to Martin from New York, telling him that he was "disappointed he couldn't carry out the murders," KRQE writes.

New York police arrested Ruane, who had pruning shears and what the CBS affiliate describes as "murder tools."

The police affidavit states there was a $2,500 bounty for each of Bieber's testicles, the Toronto Star says.

To keep him from reproducing. Also, the prison where Martin is being kept may be using Bieber as physiological torture like they do at Gitmo so he is just trying to end that.

Well if they planned to kill him then the castration would've been over doing it if they wanted to keep him from reproducing...

but if he's murdered, how would that even help :rofl:

Be forced to listen to the same music over and over again... you'll want to murder the person who made it. It won't stop the torture, but at least you will have gotten revenge on the person that made what was being used to torture you.

Well if they planned to kill him then the castration would've been over doing it if they wanted to keep him from reproducing...

hmm how about.. murder to keep him from reproducing... castration and balls as proof that you are the one that did it.

remove ovaries... I think female castration is technically considered female circumcision in the middle eastern / African part of the world though

Yeah i know what Female circumcision is. I worked with young people under threat of harm for a long time.

It's actually horrible what they do. We'd generally have to help girls as young as 12 who were smuggled back to countries such as Pakistan and forcefully circumcised, often with bits of sharpened Coke can etc horrible horrible thing.

Kinda ruined my own joke really :p

Anybody thats as famous as Bieber, eg Obama, Britney etc, somebody out there, somewhere in the world is going to want you dead. Some come to light for the rest of us to find out about, majority probably dont as they dont follow their feelings up. We live in the kind of world where this is ALWAYS going to be the case, unfortunately.

Holy crap look at all the jealous little boys in the forums. It's funny how petty someone can become when they know their gfs daughters and wives would leave them at the curb for one night with bieber. And it probably throws the extra stick in there that he makes more then all of you combined. Must really suck to hate a complete stranger instead of just admitting your life sucks.

a bounty for testicles? good greif why?

Because there's a LOT of very twisted malignant sociopaths out there who take pleasure in violence, and doing it to a public figure adds to the thrill - especially if it becomes a media circus.

As Alfred Pennyworth said in The Dark Knight: "some men just want to watch the world burn." Others want to pour the gas & throw the match.

P. S. Please include Colin Mcgregor :p

or you could have the hitmen take biebers testicles like they planned give them to you so you have a pair and come do it yourself :p

    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The most consequential argument in technology right now is not about which model is smartest or which chip is fastest. It is about whether the entire enterprise is a generational revolution or the largest financial bubble ever inflated — and the unsettling answer, increasingly, is that it may be both at once.,,,, https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318138/20260610/ai-revolution-ai-bubble-trillion-dollar-question-splitting-wall-street-silicon-valley.htm This is a very good read.  For what it is worth, I agree with the answer to the question.
