*What a shocker! Peter Griffin was found dead in the principal's office! Already on to the fourth case, some people have become restless. What will this mean for the spotless? What will this mean for the blackened? And who the hell managed to kill the big guy?!*

*TRUTH BULLETS*

MONOKUMA FILE #4

The victim is Peter Griffin. The body was discovered in the principal's office on the fourth floor. Cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head. There are also shallow cuts located around his neck.

PETER'S HEAD WOUND

Peter's head wound consists of several blows to the head with a blunt object: a shallow blow on the back of his head, and a considerably deep one on the top of his head.

CUTS ON PETER'S NECK

Lining across Peter's neck, there are slashes made by a sharp object. As they are too shallow, they cannot be connected to the cause of death.

BROKEN GLASSES

While still wearing them, Peter's glasses are smashed due to an unknown impact.

GLASS SHARDS

Near the door of the principal's office, there are tiny shards of glass which look to belong to Peter's glasses.

ROBE BURN ON ARMS

Upon closer inspection on Peter's arms, there seems to be signs of ropeburn, despite no rope being present in the room.

TRAIL OF BLOOD

There is a faint trail of blood leading from the doorway to where Peter's body lays.

HAIR ON BAR STOOL

In the rec-room bar, there are traces of hair on a bar stool. Brian has confirmed by smell it's Peter's.

BRIAN'S ACCOUNT

By utilising the e-handbook, Brian could track Peter's location depending on where his own handbook was. He checked at half hour intervals, from 9pm to 11:30pm, and each time it said Peter was at the rec room bar, until 10:30pm when he went to his dorm. Brian himself was in the study during those same hours.

PETER'S E-HANDBOOK

Peter's e-handbook was found neatly tucked away in his pant pocket, the usual place where he kept it.

BLOODY BAT

A bloody bat was found stashed underneath the principal's desk. It can be inferred that this was the weapon used to strike Peter.

HEATED INCINERATOR

In the trash room, the incinerator feels slightly hot, despite no one ever using it before. There are also traces of a burnt object within its contents.

STRANGE SCENTED GLASS

Among the array of cups Fluttershy cleaned the night prior, she noticed one smelt funny, but she couldn't quite tell what it could be.

FLUTTERSHY'S ACCOUNT

Fluttershy was heading to the fourth floor when she heard a loud whack. She immediately fled back to her dorm, where she noted that the time was around 12am.

*CLASS TRIAL: ALL RISE!*

Monokuma: "Okay, take number four... Let's begin with a basic explanation of the class trial! During the trial, you'll present your arguments for who the culprit is, and vote for 'whodunnit'. If you vote correctly, then only the blackened will receive punishment. But if you pick the wrong person... I'll punish everyone besides the blackened, and that person will get to graduate! Aaaaand action!"
