Two fugitives have been arrested for allegedly conspiring to have Canadian pop star, Justin Beiber, murdered. The two arrests were done last month, one was in New York, and the other was in Vermont. In addition to killing the pop idol, the two were also planning to target several other people on their hit list. Investigators believe that the two convicted felons had been conspiring with a murderer that they met while in prison.

The two suspects were identified as Mark Staake, 41, and his nephew Tanner Ruane, aged 23. Both men are wanted in Albuquerque for conspiracy to commit murder. Scooter Braun, Beiber’s manager, responded to the news by stating that he and his crew are taking every step necessary to ensure the safety of Justin and his supporters.

To make matters even more macabre, the two suspects were planning to murder the pop star by strangling him with a paisley tie and then castrating him afterwards along with his bodyguard. Now we all know that Justin isn’t exactly such a huge hit with the guys, but you have to admit that this sort of plan to kill another human being is just way too much even for a couple of hardened criminals.
