So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard — the killing of the son is described simply and completely: took, killed, threw out. The throwing out of the vineyard (outside the city) is an anticipation of Jesus' crucifixion outside Jerusalem (Hebrews 13:12: Jesus suffered outside the city gate). The sequence took/killed/threw out inverts the resurrection pattern (died, buried, raised) but will be reversed by the owner's response.
