Chilling new details have emerged about a shocking plot to castrate and kill pop star Justin Bieber.
Jailed killer Dana Martin, who has a tattoo of the star on his leg, pleaded guilty to criminal solicitation to commit first-degree murder after he recruited two men to kidnap the singer along with his bodyguard and two other victims.
Edgar Pinon, who worked as a sergeant at the New Mexico Department of Corrections at the time of the incident, has opened up about his time spent with Martin on docuseries Hollywood Demons.
“One morning, he wanted to talk to me personally, in private. Right away, he started talking about his tattoo of Justin Bieber,” he said.
Martin was serving two life sentences for the 2000 rape and murder of 15-year-old DeAndra Florucci at the time.
“He went on and on about how he’s been trying to make contact with Justin,” Pinon shared.
“That’s when he started telling us a story. He had arranged for two individuals to travel to the East Coast, and he gave them a hit list.”
As a result of his boasting, Martin’s two hit men were caught by cops on November 19, 2012, when they attempted to cross into Vermont after taking the wrong road and ending up in Canada.
“Their vehicle was searched, and they were able to find shears and neckties,” Pinon explained. “Those were the tools necessary to commit the crimes.”
Martin wrote letters to the “Baby” singer, then only 18, and had felt rejected when they weren’t answered, the prisoner explained in an interrogation.
He later said during his own interrogation: “There’s these people that I wanted to get killed. What we wanted to do for possible notoriety which was you know kidnapping him. The point of this whole thing was killing Justin Bieber. I’m a nobody in prison. I want Justin Bieber to know who I am. It’s crazy, isn’t it?”
It was revealed during trial that Martin had planned to carry out the castration himself, the instrument for which would be handheld hedge clippers used for trimming roses.
Despite the plan having been in motion, officer Pinon went on to insist that he felt as if Martin didn’t actually want Bieber murdered.
“In my opinion, I don’t think Dana actually wanted to murder Justin Bieber,” Pinon shared. “Because if he does, he can’t get no more music from him, no more news of what’s going on with him. My impression is Dana wanted Justin Bieber to know who he was, he wanted him to say, ‘Hey, I am here, I am a huge fan.’”
Meanwhile, Bieber is currently in the headlines for his bizarre behaviour in recent months that has sparked concern among fans and those closest to him.
