Coordinate note: R1 means row 1, C1 means column 1, and R1C1 is the upper-left cell. These hints are the official English text.
Per the general clues that every man was beside a table, and that for every man beside a table a woman was beside the same table, (G) and a woman take the squares beside the Reception table in C1 and C2. Cross out all other squares in those two columns.Now (C). He's on the carpet in the Kitchen – the Dining Room carpet won't let him be beside a table, and the Reception carpet is taken by (G) and a woman. Among the Kitchen carpet squares, the only one that puts him beside a table with room for a woman too is in R3, at C3 or C4, with the woman in R4C5. Cross out the rest of R3 and squares intersecting R4C5.This narrows (A) to the last square for her to be beside a plant, R5C4, which also narrows (C) to R3C3. (E) is at R6C2, the last square for her to be beside a shelf, narrowing (G) to R8C1.Focusing on (D), he's either R2C8 or R7C7. But R7C7 leaves no room for a woman beside the same table, so (D) is at R2C8. (F) is at R1C7 – her clue puts her in the Restroom, and she must be beside the same table as (D).Because (B) cannot be in a chair, she is in R4C5.This leaves the last square R7C6 for (V) – hence (A) is the murderer.
