The culprit is Iwao Iwata. He killed Katayama because she was responsible for the Yasaka couple suicide two years ago and since according the law, she cannot be arrested so he took a matter in his own hand. The evidence is that there is Katayama's right index finger fingerprint on the weapon, despite that she had injury and can't use it to held the weapon.
