The sick attack was due to have taken place in November when Bieber was performing concerts in New York.

After abducting the superstar it is said the pair intended to kill him strangling him with a necktie, after having mutilated him with the shears.

Police claim Staake met Martin in Las Cruces prison in New Mexico.

Martin then recruited him to kill four people - including Bieber.

Martin is understood to be obsessed with the Canadian singer, and has a tattoo of the 18-year-old on his leg.

He allegedly ordered Staake to carry out "the murder and castration of Bieber and his bodyguard".

Police intercepted phone calls between the men, including a call from a disappointed Mr Ruane to Martin, allegedly telling him that the plot had not been carried out.
