The weapon (@Chrone got it):
Welcome mat, Ché Guevarra --> Bienvenu chez (french). The initial 'w' of welcome is cut off?
More likely what @Chrone said: Ché in a mat --> machet(e), the final 'e' is missing.
The place:
Looks like 'dar es-salaam' (arabic) but mirror image, and in pieces. Broken mirror? Also the final 'm' is missing.
The victim (@OmegaKrypton's hint)
Looks like a periodic table: aha! The columns are element names. Arsenic Holmium Silicon Hassium Caesium Tantalum Tellurium.
The fourth letter of eachIf you spelled them vertically from the top then the letters in red spell EMISSAR(Y), final 'y' is missing.
The time: no idea... all I can say is, working backwards
If I got the answer right (see below), the missing letter is an R, and OP says "time of year", then I guess SUMMER, so the word to fill in is --S-U--M-M-E- ??? HAS CUTE MOMENT ??? Oh wait, WINTER works too, duh... --W-I--N-T-E- ??? DOWN IN ANOTHER ??? (random guesses)
Whodunnit:
The missing letters are _EMY, well if he's french, then probably RÉMY.

I think you may be overthinking the weapon one. Maybe it’s simply rot13(“Pur” va “zng”, juvpu lvryqf “Znpurg(r)” naq gur “r” vf jung zvffvat.) I might be completely wrong though.
