In the opening chapter of OOTP we see Frank Bryce
murdered.

"He opened his mouth and let out a scream.  He was
screaming so loudly that he never heard the words the
thing in the chair spoke as it raised a wand.  There
was a flash of green light, a rushing sound, and Frank
Bryce crumpled."

Later we see Cedric's death.

"Whoever it was, he was short, and wearing a hooded
cloak pulled up over his head to obscure his face. 
And - several paces nearer, the gap between them
closing all the time - Harry saw that the thing in the
persons arms looked like a baby ... or was it merely a
bundle of robes? Harry lowered his wand slightly and
glanced sideways at Cedric.  Cedric shot him a
quizzical look.  They both turned back to watch the
approaching figure. It stopped beside a towering
marble headstone, only six feet from them.  For a
second. Harry and Cedric and the short figure simply
looked at one another. And then, without warning,
Harry's scar exploded with pain.  It was agony such as
he had never felt in all his life; his wand slipped
from his fingers as he put his hands over his face;
his knees buckled; he was on the ground and he could
see nothing at all; his head was about to split open.
>From far away, above his head, he heard a high, cold
voice say, "Kill the spare." A swishing noise and a
second voice, which screeched the words to the night:
"Avada Kedavra!" A blast of green light blazed through
Harry's eyelids, and he heard something heavy fall to
the ground beside him;"

It never says PP cast that spell. It makes it seem
that way but they don't talk of him with a wand in his
hand. The first passage shows Lord Thingy is capable
of using a wand and AK. Just food for thought.
