I want a short closed room murder scenario. You, and nine other people are in a mansion. Its closed and it's impossible for anybody or anything to get out. There're only ten individuals, you included in the mansion. There're no supernatural powers you can employ. You can have up to two accomplices but they cannot assist you with the murder. They will only do what is described in their abilities. The room where the murder took place can be closed only from the inside. You must kill 1 person (not accomplice) and hide your deed. You have to kill them directly, and with your own two hands. You can't hide any evidence after. You will leave 3 pieces of evidence on the victims body and 4 on the crime scene.
The following are the characters:
Jack - 50 years old, a Doctor. If he's an accomplice he will falsify up to two facts about the murder. Will always have 2 other characters next to him (you don't count) . 1 of them can be an accomplice.
Tom - 19 years old. Medical student, assistant of Jack. Can swiftly hide 1 piece of evidence on the crime scene.
Lana - 43 years old. The maid. Can falsify 3 statements. 1 at minimum must be supported by another character. Will have 1 other character by her side at all times with small windows of when she'll be alone ranging from 10 to 30 minutes
Rex - 63, the butler. Can delay the discovery of the crime scene by 30 seconds.
Tony - 78, the owner of the mansion. Can steer the conversation away from a topic once
Lena - 65, Tony's wife, can put suspicions on anybody once. Always together with Tony.
Clark - 32, Tony and Lena's son. Can clear you of one suspicion. Always with his wife, except for two hours with his mother.
Lucy - 28, Clark's wife. Can plant an additional piece of evidence to the crime scene.
Harry - 16, Clark's brother. Can edit one piece of evidence on the crime scene. Always alone.
Debra - 23, a guest. Can edit 1 piece of evidence on the victims body, need 1 hr of preparation.
The rest, be as creative as you want.

In cases like these, I always recommend taking a good criminal defense lawyer rather than investing too much time in a complicated murder. Murder isn't murder as long as it hasn't been proven.
