The guy who killed Trazuin's mother was Rhue, in a way. Rhue's body was the 'host' for the Phantom Slasher, and Jeruh's alias, Rhue, became the dominant persona to lead the sword prior to the game's beggining. It's obvious that a Shadow character (either the Phantom Slasher, or another sword's Shadow Lyn) killed Traziun's mother, but 'what person killed her' depends on what you define as a person.
Physically, assuming it was the Phantom Slasher, Rhue's body was the one that killed her. If you want to talk persoality-wise, then it WASN'T Rhue that killed her. 'Rhue' didn't exist as the black-haired, blue-suited stud we played as, but rather as Jeruh's alias. The blue-suited person, Mimic, as he's called, was the one that killed her. Naturally, he had another dominant Aura (People believe it was Midian, because he wanted to kill Jeruh pretty badly, and his lines during Gaius' flashback don't seem too far from Midian's accent and style of speech). The Shadow Sword seems to have a knack for Auras with extremely powerful emotions, like Midian's urge to kill Jeruh, or Jeruh's will to find Serena, probably because the Sword can more easily push the person towards killing sprees (As we've seen Rhue go crazy and kill people again... and again... and again...).
Also, one should take firmly in mind the prospect that another Shadow Lyn (Like the one faced in The Pits in Episode 3) could of been the one that killed her. However, the Phantom Slasher seems to be the most lethal and effective killer, which could point to the idea that a Shadow Sword's power increases with the amount of Auras it absorbes. And we know Mimic's been around for a long, long time..
