I'm still very curious why they initiated a KEW strike on Cody's apparent tomb and followers. Why not just let the sect die out? Why not send a Seijin or a force to kill the sisters? What justified the KEW strike?
I have to assume that something justified that. Was it concerns that Cody might have a journal? Something material that he had? I doubt the latter, because they returned his body. And why did they return his sword?
Something just isn't right about that.

Since Kohdy had a NEAT they probably dumped his memory before killing him. While sifting through his memories after sending his body back they discovered that he had a written journal. The only way to deal with that was to eradicate the Sisterhood and their monastery including his grave in the hopes the journal and any knowledge about it was also destroyed.
The sword and his armor didn't really matter so why not sending it back which is customary with warriors, not sending them back would have raised unnecessary questions at that time anyway.
