Who is the murderer ?
Answer: D
The murderer is D.
B cannot be the murderer: if he were, D's statement 'B is the murderer' would be true, so D's other statement, 'C is innocent', would be false, making C guilty too, but there is only one murderer. C is innocent, because D's true statement is now 'C is innocent'.
A cannot be the murderer either: the murder was done with a knife at the victim's home in town, so if A were the murderer both 'I have never touched a knife' and 'I was not in town' would be false, but each suspect has one true statement. With A, B and C cleared, D is the murderer, which also makes B's statement 'A is the murderer' false and his card game with C true, as required.
