But the problem is that the wording used implies a general assessment. If the intended purpose was to deny their involvement in that particular case, then a better statement would be "nanjo, genji and kumasawa aren't the culprits".

But Lambda says murderers "殺人者".

While "culprit" is always related to something, so you can be culprit about something but innocent about the rest, this doesn't work with "murderer". You are either a murderer or not a murderer, if you have killed one person you are a murderer and that will never change.
