Hm, that would explain why the autopsy is so unclear as to how Beat died. "Apparently" doesn't exactly give us much. In that case lets map out his actions.
First the true culprit blinded him with poison. He tried to fight back but mistook May for his attacker. May threw her kunai at him before passing out and either the poison finally took full effect and he died or he fell unconscious from the shock of the attack. Either way, the killer then took advantage of the current state of affairs and meddled with Beat's body, trying to make May think she did it.
Clyde 'apparently' had his throat slit as well. We must be careful not to overly rely on that wording.
[It's still suspicious though.]
I've heard from May - she doesn't believe that Beat was blinded in any sense. ...Perhaps there's a more obvious culprit - hallucinations. There are any number of drugs that cause such intense effects.
Hm. I guess they would get the drugs off the deadweight prizes, since Beat was on that list. ...Although, that begs the question: why not just nullify Beat's powers all together? Without them he's just a regular teenage kid. Our culprit must have been very confident in their ability to not depower him.
...I have the impression that a gonne could kill any of us quite easily, powers or not. Perhaps Bernkastel could have done something with probability to make the weapon break, but magic hair, unlocking doors, even flying and creating shuriken - none of that is quite as effective, is it?
If the murderer got ahold of the gonne prior to the murder - Gundam included - they might not have felt a need to nullify his abilities. They were very unclear in the first place.
