Character assigning for Lei'd to Rest

We have eight people plus a host.

How do we know which characters are not necessary? And which characters need to be played?

My response:

The instructions for Lei'd to Rest explain exactly who you should use for eight players.

I haven't said who is used because I don't want to give away any game secrets.

(For example, if I said that these characters are not used with eight people, then anyone playing with all the characters would know that the characters I named were not the murder suspect.)

But the instructions explain exactly which characters to use for eight people.
