Answer: In the murderer's eyes, Tony was least guilty

The murderer killed the person he thought was most innocent first so that they wouldn't have to go through all the terror of being one of the last ones left on the island. Tony accidentally ran two kids over, so he was the least guilty. Wargrave also believes that Marston is a "danger to society".

Answer: Wargrave himself

Wargrave originally faked his death by pretending to be shot through the head. After everyone was killed, he went up to his room and shot himself through the head, in the exact spot where he pretended to be shot. Blore kept a journal and wrote down that Wargrave was shot in the head.

The facts would not contradict each other because Wargrave was shot in the head, just later than it says in Blore's journal.
