Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who is accused of keeping his daughter captive in a cellar for 24 years, refuses to answer further questions, police say. They said he had signed a statement admitting imprisoning and raping his daughter and fathering her seven children, but refuses to explain.

Just what the hell is there to explain? His reasons?
