News of a possible murder plot formulated by an inmate and two fugitives against pop star Justin Bieber made headlines in December, and now the details behind that conspiracy have unraveled after the audio of phone calls made last November from a prison near Las Cruces, N.M., were released. According to police, Martin directed a former jailhouse friend in Vermont, Mark Staake, and Staake's nephew, Tanner Ruane, to carry out the kidnapping and murder, and asked Ruane in a taped conversation, 'Did he go over the Bieber thing with you?' 'Nah. The way I like to work dude, I like to know as little as possible,' Ruane replied. 'He's gonna use one of the things you gave him, and then he's gonna take care of it.' Oh, and it gets worse.

'We went and bought the hedge clippers,' Ruane said. 'You're gonna give me 5 large ($5,000) for each one I get.' Police said that Ruane was instructed to castrate Bieber and his bodyguard with the clippers, and then suffocate them with a scarf..
