Bettas are carnivores (meat eaters) in the wild. They eat larvae and small bugs in the water. Did you actually see the betta kill your fish or just see her picking at the dead body.
Most fish will pick at another fish’s body. Some out of curiosity, some for the protein it offers. Bettas are normally very good fish in a community tank as long as there are not any fin nippers in with them that will attack their long flowing fins.
As for the gill inflammation, it sounds like maybe the ammonia level might be too high. You should be doing 25-30% water changes every week to keep the water and the fish healthy and happy.
