Who is at fault for Piggy's death,  Jack or Roger?

Was the death of Piggy due to the fact that Jack reigns over the island and his "irresponible authority" thus allowing Roger to commit such a heinous crime? Or does Roger (being the sadist) hurt Piggy just because he can?

    It could be argued that they both were responsible for Piggy's death. Roger was physically responsible for Piggy's death, but they both feed off each others lustful savagery.
