As for hallucinations...remember the premise of Higurashi? The catch phase in the beginning was "Is it men? Or a curse?", and the answer was "neither. It was a disease." So I wouldn't rule out anything just yet...knowing Ryukishi07's writing style in Higurashi...
Huh... I suppose that's true. Shall I rephrase? It's kind of obvious that the crime was not committed through magical means. There is a logical solution somewhere. But either way, you're right; there's no definite proof that the crime isn't magical. Although Umineko would be pretty boring if the answer was "Beatrice cast a spell, and everyone died magically. The end.".

-one of the adults get their hands on a pretty awesome shotgun
-one of the adults get their hands on some amount of gold
-one or more new witches appear
-the adults are all (excluding Krauss, I guess) in need of gold
-Kinzo is crazy and delusional
-Kumasawa makes mackerel jokes
