What Operating System are you using?
What shell do these accounts use?

What is the answer to this query when logged in as one of the users?
Code:
type kill

We use BOURNE shell(/bin/sh).
On giving the command : type kill the output displayed is: "kill is a shell builtin"

So the issue that we are facing is we are unaware which person gave kill command and forced out a person doing some activity on the server.
It appears to me that you have some serious administration issues. Why are users allowed to kill other users sessions in the first place? What happens if they make a typo, and kill the wrong process?

I suggest that you read the manual page and experiment with the following commands, and add the output of them to a log file.
w, who, finger, ps
