Also, Simba is fully aware that Kovu is Zira's son (adopted or not, I don't know). When he has the nightmare in SP of the stampede scene, he tries to save Mufasa, only to end up needing help himself and needing Kovu to save him, only to have Kovu turn on him.
If Zira had murdered Sarabi, I think that Simba's nightmare would have been much more related to that, because while Zira might be a fanatical worshiper of Scar, in the end, it was still Scar who killed Mufasa, and not Zira or even Kovu. But if she had killed Sarabi, wouldn't Simba be worried about taking in the son of the lioness who murdered his remaining parent rather than worrying over the legacy of Scar?
The fact that Scar remains the biggest roadblock to stopping Simba from accepting the Outsiders tells me that Zira did not murder Sarabi.
