Franklin talks to police about fire

Aretha Franklin has answered police questions in a two and a half hour meeting about the fire that destroyed her home near Detroit, though she is not a suspect.

After complaining that police claims she wasn’t cooperating in their investigations into a fire at her home were unfair, Aretha Franklin finally sat down with investigators yesterday to answer all their questions in a two and half hour meeting.

"She was fully cooperative," prosecutor Deborah Carley told reporters. "She gave us quite a bit of information that we will be following up on, so the investigation is definitely ongoing."

Even when they criticised Franklin for not cooperating in enquiries police stressed she is not a suspect for the suspected arson attack that led to her mansion home near Detroit being destroyed.
