Gossip: Justin Bieber
Three men are under investigation for allegedly plotting to castrate and kill Justin Bieber.
Three men are under investigation for allegedly plotting to castrate and kill Justin Bieber, said CNN.com. New Mexico police said last week that Dana Martin, a convicted child killer, had arranged from jail to pay for the 18-year-old singer and three other men to be castrated with hedge clippers, then strangled. One of the suspected hit men, Tanner Ruane, 23, was allegedly told he would be paid $2,500 for each testicle. Martin is reportedly obsessed with Bieber, and has a tattoo of him on his leg. He felt slighted, said police, when his letters to the pop star went unanswered. The alleged plot was uncovered after Ruane telephoned Martin in jail, and prison authorities listened in on the call.
