Unless one killed five, or they all played copycat with the staging after, I imagine they'd have had to
[ That, or... ]
Or the Alpha decided to put on a show once everyone had done what they had to and gone back to sleep But it would've been a lot of moving pieces for one person to handle
[ So his money, for now, is on cooperation. ]

adding the decapitations after the fact could also be a move to muddle some of the evidence around the killings.
other than that... the violence inflicted on the victims is very similar this time around too, right? without considering the bisection and crucifixion of sorts, since they were meant to be shown to everyone as a group of sorts.
bruises, cuts, the bleeding out. is this related to the killers, or related to the game?
the shepherd certainly sees this as a ritual of sorts, so maybe there's a number of ways the wolves can kill. which... kind of makes it harder to tell who might have done what.

A belt was used to strangle Tim. This was more [ it would be nice to have somewhere else to point their focus, but unfortunately, ] like a garrotte.
The tendency toward collaboration in the second round certainly seems to track.
