Murder! In the manor! Gasp! It's up to you, detective, to figure out the identity of the killer, how they did it, and where the murder took place. Scour the clues - they will reveal the names of the suspects/weapons/rooms you can eliminate from your catalogue of crime. (I must apologise and remind you that I use UK spelling, and prefer modern UK things in general). Only then will you be able to make your accusation and solve this mystery!
The title references a famous board game that involves solving a mystery - familiarity with that game's mechanics and current line-up is required here.
The instructions tell you to "Scour the clues" - maybe check for any names that might be hidden between the words?
You should be able to find 5 suspects, 5 weapons, and 8 rooms - the missing elements from each set reveal the details of the murder.
Solution:
Mrs. Peacock, with the lead pipe, in the billiards room. Well done, gumshoe!

Legitimately one of the most clever crosswords I've ever played, amazing!!! Once I saw "Scar let" I knew something was up, but I didn't expect so much more. I felt like a real detective checking off suspects and finding the answer :D
