(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Joss Stone has released a statement saying she is "absolutely fine" after being the victim of an alleged kidnap and murder plot.

Two suspects, aged 30 and 33, were found near the 24-year-old singer's home in a Devon village yesterday morning. Their car was found to contain an arsenal of weapons as well as rope, a sword and a body bag.

They also had aerial pictures and maps of Joss' property, and were originally arrested as it was thought they were planning to rob her.

But after being questioned by police the men are now being detained for the further offences of conspiracy to rob and conspiracy to murder.

"I'd like to thank everyone for their concern but I'm absolutely fine and getting on with life as normal while the police continue with their enquiries," Joss said in the statement released today.

Joss' wealth was recently estimated at 9 million by newspaper The Sunday Times, and one theory being considered is that the men were jealous of her success. (C) Cover Media
