Answer Explanation
Vicky’s clue says Wanda has exactly 4 innocent neighbors, and exactly 2 of those innocent neighbors are below Donna. The only Wanda-neighbors who are below Donna are Tina and Xavi. Since those below-Donna spots still need 2 innocent people, Tina and Xavi must fill them both. So Tina and Xavi must be innocent.
Among Wanda's neighbors, Tina, Vicky, and Xavi are already innocent, and Wanda's clue says Wanda has exactly 4 innocent neighbors with exactly 2 of them below Donna. Since Tina and Xavi are the 2 innocent neighbors below Donna, the fourth innocent neighbor must come from A4 Phil or B4 Salil, so exactly 1 of Phil and Salil is innocent. Vicky's neighbors are Phil, Salil, and Wanda, and Tina's clue says that group contains an odd number of innocents. Phil and Salil already contribute exactly 1 innocent there, which is odd, so Wanda cannot also be innocent. So Wanda must be criminal.
Wanda’s clue says the people above Vicky contain exactly one innocent, so among Adam, Freya, Kevin, and Phil there is one innocent in total. From the current board and these clues, the only ones in that group who can still be that innocent are Freya, Kevin, or Phil. That means Adam cannot be the innocent one there. So Adam must be criminal.
Wanda’s unknown neighbors are Phil and Salil, and exactly 1 of those 2 is innocent. That means row 4 already has Tina as one innocent, plus exactly 1 more innocent among Phil and Salil, for a total of exactly 2 innocents in row 4. Uma is the only other unknown person in row 4 outside that Phil-or-Salil pair, so there is no innocent place left for her in that row. So Uma must be criminal.
