A convicted murderer's terrifying phone call to a hit man -- in which he describes a plot to murder and castrate Justin Bieber and his bodyguard -- has been released.
The phone call -- obtained by KOAT 7 News in Albuquerque, NM -- was placed from a Las Cruces prison last November by Dana Martin, who's currently serving two life sentences for raping and killing a 15-year-old girl.
Martin -- reportedly obsessed with Justin Bieber -- is the first voice on the tape. The person he's calling is Tanner Ruane, the man who's accused of conspiring to carry out the Bieber castration since Martin was behind bars.
Ruane is the nephew of a former Las Cruces inmate named Mark Staake, whom Martin had also allegedly recruited to help carry out the murder following Staake's release last fall.
In the clips released by KOAT, Martin tells Ruane ... "[Mark's] going to kill the pit bulls and you're going to castrate them."
According to police, "pit bulls" was the code word for Bieber and his bodyguard.
In the call, Ruane mentions the "hedge clippers" he was planning to use to carry out the deed.
Martin also describes how to perform the murders using his signature paisley tie -- "Tie it really really tight. Knot it in the front once, really tight, put it in a knot. That cuts off the oxygen, and then tie it in the back again, really tight. That seals the deal."
As we reported, the murders were supposed to go down in New York City soon after this telephone call took place ... while Bieber was in town performing at MSG. Ruane and Staake were subsequently intercepted by police before anything happened.
Ugh, I mean I don't like JB myself but his haters do the absolute most.
It's just plain creepy that adults around the world can have so much hate for Bieber just because he's a teen sensation. They must have some deep insecurities
Not someone planning to murder the kid and everyone running in here to state that they hate him.
He has done nothing wrong for anyone who doesn't know him personally to hate him. I understand not being a fan of his music, but what has he done to any of you? It's sad that he is doing what every young adult does at this age, including all of you, but since he is living in the public eye he is being hated for it.
