Who were the ten little Indians who died in Agatha Christie's novel and then there were none?

There were no actual Indians, little or otherwise. The title was inspired by a nursery rhyme telling the story of 10 Indians who vanished one by one. The characters are indeed 10 and they too die one by one on a small remote isle, cut off from the mainland by a powerful storm. When help finally arrives on the island, they find 10 bodies. Who killed them (and how)? 8 of the characters received an invitation from a mysterious person, while the remaining 2 were the two servants, man and wife. The host is nowhere to be seen, but everything seems to have been prepared in order to ensure them a luxurious holiday. The first evening they play a record according to their host's instructions and they find out they have all been found guilty of murder and have therefore been sentenced to death in the name of justice. The main idea is that certain crimes cannot be detected or proved or they could even not be considered a sin at all, therefore the murderer/the person responsible for someone's death gets away with it.

Other characters mentioned, but who are not 'active' (i.e. they do not play a role in moving the story forward), include Cyril Hamilton, Edward Seton, James Landon, Arthur Richmond, Mrs Macarthur... (it's quite a long list, and possibly not what you're after, but suffice to say that about ten other people, and a tribe, are mentioned, as well).
