*Shrugs* acuse me if you want, I've yet to do anything wrong in the 60 Years I've lived 'ere. Just 'cause I be a bit old and a bit odd, don't mean i wish 'arm on anybody..'cept maybe me late wife! *Throws his head back and laughs, his toothless mouth wide open*
I dun owe anyone nothin! Well, aside from them coins the sheriff says I need to return to the general store. But this ain't like that time!
Besides! We got more pressin issues here! All you folks concerned about money when there's been a murder! You're the real mosters, you are.

First he has scratches on his chest, and a tooth stuck in them, now he was eviscerated. In nature, evisceration is almost always done with paws, or claws or talons of some description. Never a jaw. And to top it all off, you've removed the evidence before everyone can have a good look at it. Far too swiftly I think. Very suspicious indeed. I suspect you either are the murderer, or a foul accomplice. Your story has more leaky holes than one of Madam Solemn's whores.
I put it to the group, that due to the past mild winter, not enough old folk in the village died to keep Mr. Dragon in his life of luxury, evidenced by the fact that that drunken old sot Captain Storm, and that ancient raving lunatic Gombol saw through the winter. Seriously, one of them can't even cut up his food, despite the fact that it solely consists of mouldering vegetables, with nary a tough piece of meet to be seen.
Mr Dragon was banking on them to kick the bucket in order to pay for the new oven he recently purchased in order to provide for this new fangled fad of cremation. Without those funerals he could no longer support himself, and has instead, resorted to murder most foul in order to keep his ailing business afloat.
He (and potential accomplices) killed poor innocent traveller el Diablo in a cold blooded, premeditated scheme, knowing that he wouldn't be missed, being an itinerant drifter. This had the secondary benefit of keeping the rest of the town alive, to potentially die later, giving a second 'windfall' of cash. This was an opportunity too good to pass up, as we don't get many people passing through here.
He had the added bonus, of being able to dispose of the body easily, and quickly, as the village undertaker, so he made a half-arsed attempt at feigning attack by a purported 'wild animal', with the knowledge that he could quickly dispose of the corpse. It was almost the perfect crime.
The lashing rain of last night though, would have made the corpse too damp to easily incinerate in that ludicrous little wood fired oven of his, and it is highly likely he would have failed to light it, instead, leaving poor el Diablo in the street, and feigning this ridiculous animal attack. - It is too late for you sir, Pan-Da the herdsman has seen right through you, and accuses Mr Dragon of murder, murder most foul.
I suggest we lynch him now before any more of our families are found dead, and we have to pay his overly inflated funeral costs!

I've just spoken with Trisha and she told me that her "el'y told tales of monsters in the night and his heroic deeds in smiting these verocious wolfmen that prey on townfolk" of cause, i told her that these were just exagerations of a drunken fool trying to impress a naive girl.

Oh Mr. Panda, you can sure eviscerate someone with jaws, if you call "eating his interior organs" eviscerating, as I did in this case. Furthermore I receive a monthly fee from our beloved mayor for my services, as otherwise many corpses would be still lying around in the street. Oh and I even get paid when I don't bury anyone, just for your information, so there's no need for me to kill someone.
Yet if you insist on inspecting the tooth I'll invite anyone over to my crematory to have a look at it, as I removed it from the body before I cremated it.
And I want to make clear, that I did not accuse Old Cap Storm of any crime! If you want to accuse me properly, please do so on facts or maybe thesises but not on lies!

Mr. Panda, you seem to be bandying accusations around - I ask you, how is Mr. Dragon actually going to make ANY money at all from burying such a traveller? Who will actually pay for his burial?
Mr. Gombol appears to be a raving lunatic, but also with that, harmless to anyone except himself.
Captain Storm is still drunk and probably won't remember half of what he's said or done for the past month, let alone a specific night.
Such baseless accusations can only help to hinder us in our search for the assailant(s)!
