(D) needs to be exactly one row north of someone beside the piano, which sets (D) in R1, and an unknown person beside the piano in R2C3. Block the rest of R2 and C3.The unknown person beside the piano is on a carpet, and that's the only person on a carpet according to the general clue. Block every other carpet square. This isolates (B) in the last square beside the statue.This isolates (A) in the last square in the Closet, which isolates (E) in the last square on a chair.This isolates (D) in the last square in R1. (C) must have someone north of her in the same area, so she can't be beside the piano, as no one in the Study would be north of her. This isolates (C) in the last R6 square, and (V) as the person beside the piano. V was alone with E, so E is the murderer!
