The case of the murder of Bengt Andersson is regarded as solved, along with the kidnap and assault of Rebecka Stenlundh. The perpetrator in both cases was the victims’ own half-brother, who blew himself into thousands upon thousands of pieces in a hole in the ground that was the closest he ever got to a home on this earth.
This is the official truth: ‘He couldn’t live with what he’d done.’
Jakob Murvall reported Malin for excessive use of force in connection with the event, but Zeke supported her version. ‘Nothing like that happened. He must have been wounded in the explosion,’ and that was the end of it.
One question remains: Who raped Maria Murvall?
Malin fingers a light blue pair of overalls.
Do all questions have to be answered?
Outside the cold has eased, even if the snow is still there. The white skin gets thinner every day, and beneath the ground the first snowdrops are preparing to break through the darkness. They are moving through the soil, soon ready to greet the sun.
