The monsters DO have a reason to know what happened on the Surface: Asriel told them on his way to the castle. That's also why it was slightly inaccurate when compared to what Asriel said.

Asriel describes that Chara wanted to use their full power, and Asriel resisting. And yet, the monsters never seem to notice Asriel acting strangely, as if two people were wrestling for control. In fact, their story says Asriel merely clutched the body, smiled, and walked away. Asriel certainly wouldn't have smiled at a time like this, and if Chara smiled, it was the creepy smile, and it was not described as such. Papyrus makes note of Frisk shambling from place to place when they're corrupted by LOVE. The monsters should have noticed this shambling if they were there. They didn't. They only know what Asriel TOLD them, and this corrupted the story somewhat, just as stories told solely through word-of-mouth get corrupted over time.

Once Asriel returned to the Surface, the monsters DID witness this, they saw him stumbling home, and he passed out once he reached the castle. (NOW they make notice of how he moved, but not before..)

However, this is still no reason for Chara to keep the dead body and take it to the village-If Chara didn't want the humans to attack, they should have gotten rid of the body once they reached the Surface-None of the monsters would have actually noticed, since they weren't there, and Chara (through Asriel) could have just lied and said the body WAS placed in the flowers, being the only reason why they went to the Surface.. Or, if the plan succeeded, and monsters were freed, that wouldn't even matter anymore:Everyone would have a good idea what Asriel did either way.

Whether the plan would actually work if Asriel went through with it or not, one thing is certain:Chara DID want to eradicate ALL of humanity.
