In actual fact, Piggy did partake in Simon's murder, along with Ralph, Sam'n Eric and Jack's tribe. They were at the feast and during the middle of the pig-hunting dance, when Simon stumbled down off the mountain, Jack's tribe mistook Simon for the beast and Ralph, Sam'n Eric and Piggy joined the second ring of the circle. Piggy's justification of the killing was in actual fact him trying to appease his guilt.

PS. I don't actually have a copy of the book so all of this is from memory, so some of the details may be a little off.

Did Roger kill Piggy on purpose?

Roger killed Piggy because he was Jack's righthand man, and Jack immidately was challenged by Piggy and Ralph. Roger is trying to rid Jack of his insecurities so that he can take over, thus putting through the idea that he is a good, ordery leader. Which if you think about it, is a very stupid way to show that he is a good, ordery leader, but you know, they are kids. That doesnt make what he did any better, though.
