ALBUQUERQUE: New Mexico police believe Canadian singer Justin Bieber may have been the target of a bizarre plot to kill as well as castrate him and his bodyguard, US media reports said.
According to a police affidavit, Dana Martin, a man who is serving two consecutive life sentences in New Mexico for the rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl in 2000, had hatched a plot to kill Bieber and his bodyguard at the star's New York concert, along with two other victims in Vermont.
Martin had convinced fellow inmate Mark Staake to do the killing.
Upon his release in November, Staake in turn recruited his nephew Tanner Ruane to be his partner in crime.
New Mexico police said the murder plot apparently involved strangulation with a paisley tie, as well as castration.
Interestingly, it was Martin, an obsessive Bieber fan who has the star's name tattooed on his leg, that foiled his own plot.
Ruane contacted Martin about the plot after Staake was arrested in Vermont on November 19, for outstanding arrest warrants in New Mexico.
Martin inexplicably decided to go to the police the next day, and told them about the entire plan.
Ruane was eventually arrested by New York police at a truck stop in Rotterdam on November 26, reportedly with a pair of pruning shears in his car, just days before Bieber's November 28 concert in New York.
