I think the reason they don't do that is all the deaths at the Inn in the manga happened to minor characters, and weren't actually shown, whereas in the anime, Kouichi witnessed all of them except Kyouko and Kenzou's, and he found Kyouko's body before Aki and Tomohiko found him, so recapping it wouldn't have made much sense in that context.

The cop is a lot more important in the manga, and so I've heard, the novel, then he was in the anime. I don't even think he's named in that adaption.
