For the convicted-felon mastermind and his nephew who were allegedly planning a murder plot against Justin Bieber, there was no shortage of gruesome detail. From kidnapping to torture and ultimately castration, New Mexico police have revealed every horrifying step of the men’s scheme to kill the teenage superstar, intended to take place in late November as he played two sold-out shows at New York City‘s Madison Square Garden.
An affidavit obtained by New Mexico State Police reveals the grisly details of the murder plan developed by Mark Aaron Staake, 41, and his nephew, Tanner Ruane, 23, reported by the Toronto Star. But police reveals the plan was initially concocted by a convicted felon, Dana Martin, who is currently serving two life sentences for raping and killing a 15-year-old girl in Vermont in 2000, according to KRQE, a CBS affiliate in Albuquerque, N.M.
Martin, “a very good manipulator” according to the affidavit, lured Staake and Ruane to be his hit men with lucrative monetary rewards and a multi-million dollar hideout, the Star reports. It was all a ruse, police say, hinged on a budding prison friendship and fueled by Martin’s obsession with the teen singer.
An ardent fan, Martin, 45, has written letters to Bieber and even has a tattoo of the 18-year-old star on his leg. In April, Martin met Staake while they were locked up together at a New Mexico prison near Las Cruces. He allegedly recruited Staake, who was released on parole in October, to kidnap, murder and castrate Bieber, his bodyguard, and two others, a total of four people in two states. Staake, who then asked his nephew to join him, has been in and out of jail for drug, DWI and burglary arrests, according to KRQE.
