The Murder in the Enchanted Kingdom

This is Kier speaking. And I will tell you about the murder that happened in an amusement park in the Philippines yesterday.

As my cousins Ritsuo, Takao, Teru, Ken, Chiru, Matsuri, and I were out in this amusement park called Enchanted Kingdom, we, well, rode rides. Ritsuo was sick to his stomach when he rode the Space Shuttle five times! [Hey! Don't pull my hair] And I wouldn't believe that Takao ACTUALLY liked the Wheel of Fate!

Other than that, there was something that the seven of us saw that had shocked us: someone fell off the Jungle Log Jam! He came from the log gondola and then, at the highest part of it, he suddenly fell. The seven of us approached the ride and went to see the scene.

So I've heard, he was with six other people during the scene of the crime. His name was Jose Pedro Aguilar, nineteen years old. He had a girl next to him, so we suddenly suspected that she was the one that pushed him off. But she wasn't [and she proved it while we were interrogating them] the murderer. So the seven of us had interrogated them.

The one beside him (Cassandra Santos): "Why would I kill him? I love him too much! I never hated him ever! *cries* If I were to kill him, it would only be because he was with another woman, which he isn't!"
A close friend of his (Alessandro Marcos): "I never kill ANYONE! Heck, I may even LOOK notorious, but I'm not a murderer!"
His twin sister (Janella Aguilar): "He may have always been loved by everyone, but he's my brother!"
Cassandra's best friend (Arisa de los Santos): "I love him! I can't kill him!"
Cassandra's ex (Manuel Aragon): "I'm not even beside him!""I was seated at the back and I wasn't
even right behind him! There was no one seated beside me."
Janella's boyfriend (Timothy de los Santos): "I never met him! Why would I kill someone I don't know?"
His best friend (Kris Maseratti): "He's my best friend! And I can't kill him, no matter what happens!"

All their reasons why they're not the killer are really convincing. But then Teru told us something:

"Manuel's reason was bland, don't you think? And he even stated something obvious: there was no one seated beside him. So probably he's the one?"

And then Matsuri showed us his camera. "Look at this. The one behind him is Manuel. And look! He put his hands on Jose Pedro and pulled him off the log gondola!"

That meant we only ha one candidate: Manuel Aragon.

We told them that he was the one that pulled Jose Pedro off the gondola, he said that he was broken up by Cassandra for Jose Pedro, and killed Jose Pedro. Solving that crime was a bit too easy since he was too sensitive to do anything after we found out he was the killer.
