This is a crazy world. The two men, who are currently on trial for plotting to kidnap and murder soul singer Joss Stone, reportedly had other entertainers on their hitlist.
Junior Bradshaw, 32, and Kevin Liverpool, 35, were taken into custody in June 2011 after they were arrested by Stone's home with a samurai sword, a hammer, and a knife. Reports alleged that they plotted to behead the Soul singer and dump her body in a river.
During yesterday's trial, a detective dropped a bomb during his testimony, telling the court that police found a diary at Kevin Liverpool's home, which according to the Huffington Post, mentioned his need for a semi-automatic gun, a silencer, infrared equipment and a "ninja sword." The diary also list details about Stone like her birthday, place of birth, biography and a number scale on whether they should rob, stab or kill her.
In more disturbing news, the diary also list other music superstars as targets including, Beyonce, Chris Brown, R. Kelly, Eminem, Dizzee Rascal, Craig David and Girls Aloud. No more details were provided on future plots or etc.
Both men have denied all charges.
Music fans were stunned to learn that a group of men from Manchester, England had been arrested and charged with plotting to murder British soul singer Joss Stone. The alleged plot included more than just the Grammy Award-winning artist: Beyonce, Chris Brown, Eminem and other high profile musicians were also on the list. How did this bizarre situation arise? Read on to find out what happened and why these individuals are now facing serious criminal charges.
The case first came to light in 2011 when four men were stopped by police near Stone’s home in Devon. A search of their car uncovered machetes, hammers, gloves and bags containing notes detailing plans for an attack against her and some of music’s biggest stars. Police believed they had disrupted an attempt to kidnap or possibly kill the “Super Duper Love” singer.
After further investigation it was revealed that the four suspects belonged to a larger gang planning similar attacks against multiple targets across Europe. In addition to Stone, celebrities such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Eminem, Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown were also on their hit list. It has yet to be determined whether all members of the gang knew about the full scope of their mission but regardless they have been taken into custody and face very serious consequences if convicted of any wrongdoing.
Alleged Conspiracy
The allegations of a plot to murder Joss Stone have rocked the music world. It is alleged that two men, Junior Bradshaw and Kevin Liverpool, were planning an attack on the popular singer-songwriter. The pair had allegedly plotted to rob her home in Devon and cause her harm while they were at it. According to reports, their intended victims included not only Stone but also other high profile celebrities such as Beyoncé, Chris Brown, Eminem, Jay Z and Rihanna.
The details of this supposed conspiracy are shocking and disturbing. Reports suggest that the two men had assembled a detailed plan for their crime which included researching the layout of Stone’s property; collecting items with which to carry out the robbery; buying weapons such as swords and hammers; and even inquiring about explosives and poisons. Furthermore, police discovered maps indicating travel routes from Manchester to Devon as well as copies of bus timetables on one of the suspects during a search of his house.
It remains unclear what motivated these individuals or how far along they had progressed in carrying out their plans before they were arrested by police. However, authorities believe that if left unchecked, this could have resulted in serious consequence for both victim and would-be perpetrators alike. Nevertheless, justice has been served for now thanks to swift investigation work by local law enforcement agencies.
Potential Targets
The potential targets of the plot were some of music’s biggest stars. Beyoncé, Chris Brown, Eminem, Jay Z and Rihanna have all achieved tremendous success in their respective fields, so it is no surprise that they would be prime marks for criminals looking to make a quick buck. In addition to these artists, there are also reports that Stone herself was a target – an especially disturbing detail considering her young age and immense talent.
Though the exact motivations behind this crime remain unknown, one thing is certain: if not for timely action by law enforcement officials, something terrible could have occurred. This incident serves as a stark reminder of how important it is to take security measures seriously when protecting celebrities or anyone else who may become a target for malicious activity. It is also worth noting that while investigations into this matter are still underway, Bradshaw and Liverpool have already been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and murder due to evidence collected during searches of their homes.
Overall, this event has shaken up the entertainment industry and left many wondering what other criminal plots may be lurking out there. Though we can never know exactly what happened in this case until further details emerge from investigators, we must remain vigilant in order to prevent similar crimes from occurring again in the future.
