Very nice argument, sadly Nakluendo beat you to it.

Spoiler for

From the OP it is clear that statements [7 & 8] are both either true or lie.
CASE - 1
Assuming both as true, we get the following results:
Statement [1] is lie, as seven of them couldn't be lying.
[2] is lie, as six of them couldn't be lying if [2] was true.
[3] & [4] are both either lie are both true. So [3] & [4] both are lies, as five of them couldn't be lying if [3] & [4] both were true.
Either one of [5] & [6] could be true, so [5] couldn't be true, if [6] was a lie. Also [6] couldn't be true if [5] was a lie. Therefore both are lie.
Conclusion of above: If [7] & [8] were true, thenl other six would be lying, which would make the statement [2] - true, So case - 1 is not possible.
CASE - 2:
[7] & [8] both are lying. then all of the statements become lie except [1]. Therefore Case - 2 is correct. Both [7] & [8] are lying hence [7] is Bill and [8] is Susan.
