As for these, they were killed.
قُتِلُوا — they were killed. A passive verb with a plural 'they' ending: its inner vowels are reshaped so the men received the killing rather than did it, and no killer is named. Arabic marks the passive inside the verb's vowels, not with a helper like 'were', keeping the agent hidden.
