Did Peter really kill those Muggles?

It is possible ladies, but Black had time there after the blast and
after Peter transfigured and "disappeared" to realize what happened
and while he may not of *seen* the wand, he did probably hear the
spell noise or even the incantation Peter used.  But the reason I
don't think Fudge helped is because the destruction spread would of
radiated from behind Peter's back and therefore also in front of
Black.  That way, it appeared Black did it.

Now, unless Fudge was behind Black and Black did not hear him, it
seems the only way a "second gunman" Fudge could of gotten that
projection without hitting Peter or Black would require him to be
close enough to be seen by Black.

But then again, this is all blown out of the water if destruction like
that can be protected from afar and at the angles required.  It would
take a very good marksman though.  Has Fudge show any signs of skill
so far?
