“The Last Supper” is a Murdoku case from the Hotel & Restaurant category: a board of 9×9, 8 suspects and one victim. Read the clues, work out where everybody was standing, and name the suspect who was left alone with the body.
The Board
The floor plan as the case hands it to you: 9×9, rated Hard, with 6 rooms. Every person — 9 in all — takes a row and a column of their own.

Floor plan of “The Last Supper”. Letters mark the objects; the key is below. A thick blue edge marks a window. A dashed edge marks a door.
Each suspect comes with what the witnesses remember. Read them all before placing anyone — a clue about one person is very often what pins down another.
Alex — a man with brown hair and a beard
He was south of a chair (R8/C1)
Bernd — a man with brown hair and a beard
He was beside a fridge
Cyrus — a man with brown hair and a beard
He was in the Bar
Dylan — a man with a bald head and a beard
He was beside a door
Edison — a man with white hair
He was not beside a wall
Floyd — a man with black hair and a beard
He was in the Bar and he was north of a carpet (R2/C5)
Greta — a woman with white hair
She was alone with a suspect who had a bald head and she was beside a plant
Hana — a woman with white hair and glasses
She was not beside a wall and she was in the same row as a plant
The victim, Viktor, is a man. Nothing else about them is known, and no clue depends on it.
How Hard It Really Is
Deduction steps from the first clue to the verdict
Before anything else, count where each suspect could be if you only read their own clues:
Alex: 6 possible tiles
Bernd: 4 possible tiles
Cyrus: 5 possible tiles
Dylan: 12 possible tiles
Edison: 10 possible tiles
Floyd: 2 possible tiles
Greta: 9 possible tiles
Hana: 2 possible tiles
The first deductions after that, in the order the solver finds them:
Alex: only row 9 possible – blocked for others.
Floyd: only row 1 possible – blocked for others.
Hana: only row 5 possible – blocked for others.
That is as far as this page goes. From here on it is yours — the in-game hint giver explains each next step if you get stuck, without giving the answer away.
This case has exactly one solution, and it can be reached by forward deduction alone — no guessing.
