Given the context of the game and the wide array of characters we've seen, I've come to the conclusion that Winston is telling the truth about his Metamorph ability and that he is probably Kirby or Ditto.
Neither of those characters fit the description of Sasaki's killer on Night Two, who was of similar height to Rundas and able to look at him with "beautiful red eyes" and kiss him passionately before vapourising him with fire-based attacks.
Sure, there's cover roles, but have we seen a cover role yet that doesn't correlate with the character that it's masking? Just look at Ridley's cover, another draconic character, or Cloud's, which was essentially a brown-haired mirror image. Who would be a cover for Kirby/Ditto?
Winston claimed to have stolen the Plasma Cannon ability on the same night Sasaki died, meaning that he is affirming that he was actively doing something else rather than being the murderer; this claim doesn't clear him in the eyes of the living town, but should it really be acted upon so impulsively by the vigs/serial killers?
I believe you should refrain from killing Winston for now; scan him first, as his ability could be extremely useful if he is town and it's not something that we want to lose so easily.
Should you learn nothing constructive, consider killing him then; just give him a little time.
On any occasion where you hedge your bets like so, I will pop up and remind you about this statement... :P
