Hi and welcome :)
The book, like the film, have Wormtail killing Cedric, but this was done on 
Voldemorts orders and must have been with Voldemort's wand because of the 
later Priori Incantatem. Here's an extract from the English version.

>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; the pain in his scar reached 
such a pitch that he retched, and then it diminished; terrified of what he 
was about to see, he opened his stinging eyes.
Cedric was lying spread-eagled on the ground beside him. He was dead.

Harry firmly believed that it was Voldemort's fault Cedric was dead and so 
he blamed him. At that point, Wormtail was just following orders and would 
probably have been killed himself if he didn't obey. It also was nessecary 
for the plot as it wouldn't have sounded so impressive to say, 'Wormtail 
killed Cedric!' as everyone would be asking, 'who's Wormtail?'
