Frankenstein feels that he is to blame for Henry's murder because he is the creator of the being that committed the crime. He was also the one to reject the monster, thus resulting in the monster's anger towards him and those he loves. Hence, he feels as though he murdered Henry himself.

When the rest of the family was taking a walk, William ran off by himself. Seeing the beautiful child, the creature thought he could take him and educate William as his companion. Instead, William insults the creature, calling him hideous. He says that his father is M. Frankenstein, and his father will definitely punish the creature. Hearing the name Frankenstein, the creature has a fit of rage and tries to silence William, but he is too strong and accidentally strangles him.

The monster frames Justine for her brother's death. The monster killed Justine's brother, William, because of his relation to Victor Frankenstein, whom he wants revenge against for creating such a horrible wretch such as himself. The monster strangles William to death, takes the picture of his mother from his possession, and plants it in Justine's pocket while she takes a rest and sleeps in a barn while looking for her brother. Justine is put on trial when the picture is found in her pocket, and she is executed. So, the monster indirectly killed Justine.

Victor was the last person that was with Henry, so obvious suspicion was towards him.
