Same here. I think I know which facial expressions people are keying on here, but I don't see them as smirks, and I certainly don't think that they are indicators of culpability or knowledge of the crime at all.
I have noticed a tendency for some people to impute all sorts of emotional states to the expressions of those they suspect (often suggesting that they are smug, are smirking, etc.), and while I have a lot of training and experience in reading expressions, I very rarely agree.
Entirely possible, sure. But I would encourage you (and anyone else who has any doubt) to go back to the link Matic shared and focus on 0:50-0:53 - Ms. Tutor looks to Mr. Mister, then looks down, smiles, audibly makes a noise, and looks back in the direction of the interviewer.
The noise she makes there is one I've made on occasion when I'm thinking, "haaah" or "that's funny" or "pfff, right."
