Case 92: The Barbecue

7 suspects, 5 rooms, 10 by 8

Extra hard, 16 clues

8 people were in the building, and one of them did not come out. Everyone stood on a different square, never two in one row or one column, on the 10 wide by 8 tall plan. Work out where each of them was, the victim included. Whoever was alone with the victim did it.

Good to know

Beside: on one of the four squares directly above, below, left or right, in the same room. Diagonally does not count, and neither does through a wall. A window or door in the wall of your square is beside you.
North of someone: in a higher row, in any column. The same goes for south, east and west.
Alone: nobody else in the same room, the victim included. Alone with someone: those two, and nobody else in that room.
