Well, Kill wouldn't be the right word perhaps, but they can be "Killed in Arda" (as in vanished from it) I think that Morgoth was "Killed" so was Sauron and Saruman... and the previously mentioned Balrog. They couldn't re-shape, they couldn't really interact with any other living beings and they would not be allowed in Valinor, so Arda had very little left for them. It is safe to assume they vanished from it. Which leads to another question, which is sort of off topic so refrain from answering it here. Wouldn't "The void" be where Eru is as well? I mean, Eru should be everywhere, but wouldn't "The Void" be all but Arda? from my reading of The Silmarillion, it doesn't seem quite as an empty place. At least if you are one of those Maiar
