Who is guilty?

Exactly one suspect is guilty. The guilty suspect lies. Every innocent suspect tells the truth.

Amira: “The guilty person is either Jack or Hugo.”
Jack: “The guilty person is either Amira or Tess.”
Tess: “None of Jack, Tess or Hugo is guilty.”
Hugo: “The guilty person is either Amira or Hugo.”
Mae: “Neither Jack nor Mae is guilty.”
Random case
Solution: Amira is guilty. Testing each possible culprit leaves this as the only assignment where the culprit's statement is false and all four innocent statements are true.
