What Transpired In the Last Season Finale?

Kurt convinced Hemberg and Rash that Karl-Axel Munck was responsible for Hugo’s murder in the first season finale. Unfortunately, they had no solid evidence to prove his involvement. After talking to Leopold Munck, Wallander discovered that the inheritance had been changed to Gustav. 

Further, Hemberg and Kurt called Karl for questioning while trying to get his DNA sample. They felt that Karl killed his brother to stay relevant to his father. They believed that Karl might target Gustav’s newly built shelter. But they did not find the bomb there.
