Yesterday we learned about a death threat involving Justin Bieber. Police uncovered a plan to kill and castrate the singer, and according to Justin’s manager, they’re taking “every precaution” to protect the safety of Justin and his fans.

Investigators have thwarted a convicted murderer’s plot to kill and castrate Justin Bieber, Albuquerque’s KRQE news reports.

Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, spoke to Us Weekly exclusively about the planned attack, noting that the singer’s well-being was his team’s top priority.

“We take every precaution to protect and insure the safety of Justin and his fans,” Braun told Us.

According to KRQE, Dana Martin — currently serving two life sentences in New Mexico for raping and killing a 15-year-old girl in Vermont 12 years ago — recruited a fellow inmate at the state prison near Las Cruces to help him carry out a series of murders, one of which was planned for Bieber.

Law-enforcement officials say recently released inmate Mark Staake and his nephew Tanner Ruane were supposed to take down the pop sensation at his sold-out Madison Square Garden concert in New York City in November. The plan was to strangle the young star and his bodyguard with paisley ties, Martin’s calling card, and then castrate both victims. Before the grisly deed was carried out, however, Staake was arrested in Vermont on outstanding warrants.

Here are new pictures of Justin in the press room at the Power 96.1′s Jingle Ball 2012 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, last night. He doesn’t look bothered by any stinkin death threats!

I’ll say this. Every time I see him in these ugly-ass Hammer pants, it makes me want to strangle him. Just sayin.
