It probably happened as in the end the servants were declared dead in red but I think it was probably constructed without the adults witnessing it (meaning they never checked if the servants were alive or dead) or with them faking to enter in it but believing the servants weren't really dead but just faking so that if Battler were to decide to personally investigate he would still find the servants where he'd been told and wouldn't doubt the adults of having been accomplices.

After all Beato confirmed the deaths and the way they were killed after PieceBattler was told by the adults about it.

Though, assuming the adults weren't accomplice in this the interesting part is that they could have doubted that the servants were really dead because Yasu failed to fake her death in a convincing manner... as it's actually not so easy to hide you're breathing.

Still... it's odd that, if they had doubts about it, they never went to personally check, expecially after finding Rosa and Maria's bodies. The servants could be the killers after all so making sure they're really dead could be a good plan...

Oh and an interesting note. Someone said Kyrie's corpse was moved in the anime. Well, it was moved in the manga as well.
