“Killers in White” is a Murdoku case from the Hospital 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 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.
Anna — a woman with white hair and glasses
She was beside a chair and she was in a corner
Bernd — a man with white hair
He was on a bed and he was in the Waiting Room
Cyrus — a man with black hair and a beard
He was in row 6
Dalia — a woman with brown hair
She was in the Ward
Elsa — a woman with white hair
She was beside a TV
The victim, Vicky, is a woman. Nothing else about them is known, and no clue depends on it.

How to Start — Without Spoilers
Before anything else, count where each suspect could be if you only read their own clues:
Anna: a single tile — their own clue settles it
Bernd: 2 possible tiles
Cyrus: 4 possible tiles
Dalia: 6 possible tiles
Elsa: 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.
