Yukariko's motive to demolish the old building isn't to cover up the crime committed. She could have done that decades ago if that were the case. She just wants to put her sister to rest and ask forgiveness from her despite what she has done.
Though I agree that Yukariko should atone for her sin, I don't think she should take the entire blame. Her involvement was highly influenced by elders and other villagers fueled by their superstitious beliefs. She was also a minor who was no older than 14/15 at the time and didn't know any better. Yukariko in her brief state of insanity thought she was doing the right thing and wasn't doing it out of malice. It was only after they "sacrificed" Yuuko that she realized she has done a terrible deed and her sister's death was all for naught.
