Culpable
How can we say ¿ Quién es el culpable de la situación?
Who's guilty of the situation? Who's going to take the blame for ? Who can we put the blame on? |

Your last two questions are good (add a prepositional object to the first of the two).
A good way to use 'guilty' is: Who's guilty in this situation? Last edited by Rusty; March 12, 2018 at 11:51 AM. |

Also this is very commonly used: Who is the guilty party?

All of those options sound overly literal to me. If you're looking for a more dynamic translation, I'd say Who is responsible for the situation?

Who is responsible for this situation, is neutral. It can refer to a good situation or a bad situation. Who is the guilty party refers to a bad situation almost exclusively; the exception being if the person uses an extremely ironic tone.
