The same way you kill any login.

 1) Check for entries in /etc/inittab, remove them, init q

 2) Kill the process listening on/attached to the device.
      ps -t /dev/tty13
      kill ...

The kernel will still be holding memory for the
terminal emulator for the #13 virtual terminal.
There's nothing you can do about that if the
terminal has already been used (eg, but having
a getty waiting on it).  If not, then use
deallocvt.
