Three more murders have taken place:

Who is the killer?

Here is a fact-file about the first murder:

Name: Miguel Ostos.
Occupation: Chauffer.
The crime scene: Maria's bedroom.
Murder weapon: a gun.
At the crime scene we found: Maria.
This person seems / doesn't seem guilty because: she had the gun in her hand and it was still smoking.
Possible motive for the murder (your opinion): Miguel was sometimes violent with her. Perhaps it was self-defence.
Alibi: none.
Make fact-files like this for the next three murders and complete with any information you've got. 
Who do you think is the murderer now? Why?
