I've filled my grid but several i the bottom right have me puzzled. I've either guessed some wrong or the explanations are just eluding me.

For 15d Killer of 25 sins (8) I have ASSASSIN.

For 25ac Sweve prejudice (4) I have BIAS. This doesn't really fit with 15d though if it's an anagram of SINS and 25ac.

Is ASSASSINS wrong? Is the killer a person/proper noun?

17ac Arts where some say they're taught (6)

I have SKULES but I'm somewhat doubtful about this.

Hi Tim, I'm really not sure about this but I wonder if BIAS is BI AS - in other words, 2 x AS + SINS - ASSA SINS.

Hi Brendan, I like your BIAS = AS AS explanation. Ties up nicely.

I only put SKULES in as I think that’s how Molesworth spelled “”school”. A weak reason I know. Can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone pronounce school as “skill” although I accept the skill/art sort of works.
