“Four Windows, One Killer” is a Murdoku case from the House & Home category: a board of 6×6, 5 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: 6×6, rated Easy, with 4 rooms. Every person — 6 in all — takes a row and a column of their own.

The Suspects and Their Clues
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 white hair and glasses
He was in the Bathroom
Bernd — a man with white hair and a beard
He was beside a plant
Cyrus — a man with a bald head, a beard and glasses
He was not beside a wall
Dylan — a man with a bald head and glasses
He was beside a chair and he was in the Living Room
Edison — a man with a bald head and glasses
He was the only person on a chair
The victim, Vivek, 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: 5 possible tiles
Cyrus: a single tile — their own clue settles it
Dylan: 2 possible tiles
Edison: 3 possible tiles
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.
