As for the newspaper reports, it seems like an Orc and either Ruby or Valentine have been recruited. It's not entirely clear who killed the golem, whether it was the maniac or Miranda. Perhaps we should take a closer look at Mentu. Among the players, only Plesen currently inspires confidence.
I don't have any candidates for execution at the moment, and I'm not sure about Yashur. We need to analyze the clues.
