That's fictional evidence (though quite a good novel), and it doesn't prove anything.
How hard is it to destroy (all life on? all sentient life on?) planets? Are the costs of group punishment too high for it to make sense?
From an engineering standpoint, eliminating almost all life on a planet is trivial for anyone capable of interstellar travel. Real easy to make it look like an accident too. Getting away with it depends on their opinions of circumstantial evidence.
