Ah... Miss Alice and myself had to search her room the last trial and there were several sculptures there, which I believe she might have carved with a knife. Still... [a thoughtful pause.]
If we are taking into account abilities that are not fully listed, Mr. Latvia as a country could easily know how to work a knife. Likewise, there is Mr. Clyde and his improvised weaponry, Miss Alice with her weapons training, and Mr. Tanaka's martial arts. In essence, the only one who likely does not have immediately notable proficiency with knives to some degree is you, Miss Rapture, which is a little too convenient.
...I suppose that someone ought to take a closer look at the, ah— pieces, though... To determine if they were cleanly cut or if the culprit struggled, and if they had any sort of surgical precision. That may help to narrow down the list.
If someone took care of the poison and the other took care of dismemberment, then we have two ways of looking at it. One person would take care of poisoning the victims, while the other would take care of the dismemberment. Perhaps purely for no other reason than to have some fun with hiding the parts. The messiness of the way the body was left behind in the kitchen almost makes it seem as if it's in a complete, desperate craze.
Which wouldn't be surprising, considering how people are starting to act around here.
You're right though. Maybe the way she's been cut will narrow it down. I guess if one or two of the suspects end up getting caught lying about how, that'll solve the mystery for us.
To think that it had been done for such a reason, though... [another brief glance toward the suspect portraits is given.] I have spoken to them all, and could not imagine any of them doing such a thing...
But I suppose speculation will not unearth the truth. I... could examine the pieces, but my expertise lies in medical aid, not surgery. I do not know that I would be of much use.
Nobody suspected a lot of the culprits until it was admitted they had done it. Though profiling does help a way to narrow the selections down a little more, evidence just solidifies it.
I think looking at the way they body was cut would help narrow down who did the dismembering and focusing all of our attention on Michael Altman's body after that would lead us down an even smaller path to finding out who did it. We should think about getting a few extra opinions of how Belarus's body was cut though. Just in case.

Then perhaps that is best. I'll ask the group on a whole who might have enough knowledge to look at the pieces, then.
