Specifically, Macbeth kills Duncan - his guest, relative and ruler - in Act II Scene II of the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. He also kills the royal guards, in order to charge them with the crime and prevent them from defending themselves.

He claims to the others that he killed the guards out of his love for Duncan- "Who could refrain, that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make's love known?" However this argument is quite overdone on his part this is shown when he says "wise, amazed, temp'rate, and furious, loyal and neutral". The real reason would probably have been that he was too scared that one would be a witness and therefore didn't trust Lady Macbeth.

Lady Macbeth bascially manipulates Macbeth into killing Duncan by making attacks on his ability to be a man. So, yes, she is the reason why Macbeth goes through with it.
Lady Macbeth was an accessory and an accomplice to her husband in the murder of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. It was in fact she who came up with the plan to help Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] carry out the killing of his sovereign and the two royal guards without any blunders. She planned to get the guards to drink too much of drugged drinks. They then would be incapable of defending their ruler. Neither would they be capable of defending themselves when Macbeth turned the daggers on them as well.
