WELL , Let's See:
If the mom's alibi was that she was in the shower - she is HIDING something. Showers are 10-15 minute events, not all day events. If she can only account for 10-15 minutes of her time, this is highly questionable. It would be unusual to fix the precise time of the murder to the several minutes that a shower takes, UNLESS the shower is a cover up alibi. What was she doing before and after the shower? If she can only account for these 10-15 minutes, what did she see or hear (or do) before or after? AND why does she remember PRECISELY when she was in the shower? The Mom is hiding something, and definitely knows more than she has told.
If the daughter's alibi is that she was on a date - she may or may not know something more, more questions need to be asked of her. Maybe she really was away from the house at the time of the crime, maybe she left AFTER, or came back BEFORE the crime was committed. What did she see or hear (or do) before she left, and after she returned?
Even a circular house, if it has rooms, if it has any interior walls at all, will have corners. People who knit can often knit for long periods of time. Whether true or not, the maid's alibi is actually plausible, she COULD have been knitting in the corner (and if so, it's possible she didn't see or hear anything).
If the BROTHER was at a friends house, why is he a suspect? Why is he even being questioned? He doesn't live there, does he? The fact that he's in this roundup raises a question; There is some reason that he is under suspicion, he must know something. Definately, Question him further! !
And the SON. where was he? Where is he now? Find him and question him.
SO:: The son is missing, the mom is hiding something, the daughter may or may not have more information, a brother appears (why?), and the maid has the only plausible alibi. GOOD MYSTERY isn't it.
BY THE WAY: What kind of county is this where the judge is asking -who did it- in open court. Ordinarily, this is not a question a judge would ask. This question would have been asked by local police detectives and investigators long before any court appearances. once in court, these kinds of questions would be asked by the prosecutor, not the judge.

It was the maid who had the delusion that she was in the corner of a circular house. :)
