Cinder and Yang's comments implied that Spring really trusted and cared for Raven, only to be betrayed and killed by the woman that she trusted.

And Raven was the one who abandonned Qrow first by leaving her teamates and the family she founded with Taiyang. Did you watch V5?

1. As Someone said, both characters who claimed she killed her were only guessing she did so in the first place, while we can assume that this was the writers way of saying she DID kill her, we cannot assume the reasons or circumstances under which she did so as there are NO reliable witness statements.

2. Raven and Qrow were originally at beacon to learn how to KILL huntsman, that was their mission and Qrow abandoned it while Raven didn't, there is every indication Tai wouldn't have left with her and the tribe was no place for a baby had she wanted the responsibility, Tai and the rest of STRQ likely would have taken her back even if she had, and Raven likely wasn't emotionally or physically ready to kill them. Raven did nothing to tell them that they were wrong to think that the Spring Maiden indeed trusted her and that she killed her in spite of that trust, Raven's reaction to Cinder saying that the Spring Maiden have made a mistake by trusting Raven indicates that Cinder hit a nerve.

And if Raven didn't abandon herself the mission then why did she come on Patch and started a family with Taiyang instead of immediatly returning to the tribe as soon as she graduated ? By turning her back on the family they started Raven abandonned Qrow first.
