The cards

Pick a person by tapping the photo on their card, the victim too. Then tap a square to put them there, or drag the photo onto it.

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.

Place everyone first, the victim too.
