Cedric was killed by Wormtail with Voldemort's wand.  Wormtail is 
carrying V's wand and V himself at the time.  Unfortunately, 
Voldemort's trust in him--or trust in the power he holds over 
him--seems to be well-founded.  Wormtail hasn't slipped anything into 
his nightly venom all these months.

The question of what Animagi, werewolves, and all-but-disembodied 
wizards do with their wands is a problem, I suppose, but it's one I 
choose to ignore.  An animagus can clearly transform from fully 
dressed, glasses-wearing, wand-bearing human to naked animal and back. 
 Why?  Because JKR says so.  So wizards who flee to Albania with 
almost no corporeal form "carry" their wands with them in some way 
also.
