Obviously, Kovu didn't kill Nuka, and it's not Kovu's fault that Nuka recklessly chased Simba up the log pile. If anyone's to blame for Nuka's death, it's Zira. But Zira would never admit that she's to blame, and wrongfully placed the blame on Kovu since she resented him for not killing Simba. Which is a very realistic reaction, to be quite frank, as people more often than not are quick to blame everyone but themselves. Really humanizes Zira.
