I kinda always wonder about Romans doing the killing. Was it because there was something going on. Or was it the easy route out asked by local dignitaries. Hey please get rid of this guy for us. And they just obliged to do the deed. Whole washing hands of the thing points me to that direction.

Likely both. Rome had some control over the religious leadership as well. So this somewhat at least revolutionary annoyed ordinary Jews, the local Roman influenced religious leadership, and the local Roman authorities by being perceived as a kind of revolutionary at minimum in a religious sense but also in a actual sense regardless of the truth of these things.

The annoyed religious leadership referred him to the local Roman in charge of such things who had him executed.
