Absolutely. There are two possible candidates other than Yasu who could have done. Namely, the person who killed Nanjo was Kyrie or George.
The Rosatrice theory explains that Rosa gave Shannon poison rather than sleeping pills. George tried to revive Shannon but couldn't. Nanjo came to see George and was attacked by him after he found out that she wouldn't wake up. He shot him but didn't kill him. When people found George's body, Battler never actually saw George's body nor confirmed his death. It is plausible that George was still alive, got up near the end of the day, found Nanjo and killed him. Rosatrice gives the explanation that the reason why the bank number was added in ep 3 but not in ep 5 was basically because George knew the number and was dying. I personally also don't know why Yasu would add the bank number on the wall in ep 3 but not ep 5.

The second culprit, Kyrie, could have been the one who killed everyone and survived being killed by Eva after she shot Hideoyoshi. As this also applies to both George and Kyrie, the red at the end, stating everyone died, does not give the time of death, only the confirmation. The weasel out of this red is simply that someone declared dead by the rdd killed before being declared dead. The only candidates is simply George and Kyrie.

Another fact that I should bring up, which is always contested, is that Yasu, stated by the red, could not have killed Nanjo in ep 3. The rules state that if someone finds the gold, the murders done by Beatrice would end. If someone else kills, then there's nothing Beatrice can do. This is stated in red by meta-Beatrice, the accumulation of all Beatrice in the story, including Yasu. So Yasu, does not have to be omniscient to know if someone finds the gold. The red just makes it so. There isn't a second clause in the letter that Beatrice gives, that the person who finds the gold *must* tell everyone to stop the murders, only to find the gold and that the murders stop. It also begs the question as to what Yasu was doing when everyone was in the guest house. Why wasn't keeping an eye on the only building where everyone was holding up? The endless answer is that ''huuurrrr she's not omnicient, she can't be everywhere at once'' which ignores the obvious fact that EVERYONE was in one location, so Yasu doesn't have to be everywhere to notice two adults leaving the building.

Yasu killed Nanjo also isn't comprehended by anyone as well. Why did Yasu kill Nanjo? Some people claim that Yasu just did it because of some grudge, some say it's because, hey, it's the end, why not kill and just stay with Jessica? But it lacks a coherent motive.
However, in ep 8 of the manga, there's a flashback kakera image that shows Yasu being the one that kills Nanjo. Even if the manga shows this, it does not confirm that Yasu killed Nanjo, nor does it refute the red that Yasu should not have killed once the gold was found.

I actually agree. It's possibly the only flaw I can think of concerning this. On that fact alone, only Shannon and Kanon could be the culprits but in ep 3, Battler also mentions that Jessica could have done it with multiple personality or a different name or whatever, which isn't denied by Eva-Beatrice.
