The witches had predicted that Banquo's descendants would inherit the throne, which posed a risk to Macbeth's own lineage. By eliminating Banquo and his son, Macbeth believed he could secure his power.

The Macbeth family victim list is: King Duncan, his two chamberlains, Macbeth's fellow general Banquo, Lady Macduff and her children. Eventually Lady Macbeth kills herself. Macbeth also kills young Siward towards the end and McDonald along with young siward during the battle when the forest "walks" up to the castle. the above is not exactly true - Macbeth kills - the traitorous Macdonwald, (mentioned in 1.2). Duncan, his two sleeping chamberlains, and young Siward. That's it. He hires murderers to kill Banquo and Fleance (they only get Banquo), as well as to kill Macduff and his family (they only get her son, and presumably, Lady Macduff - but in the text she exits before being killed) There is no evidence that Lady Macbeth kills herself, other than a line that she "tis thought, by self and violent hands took off her life"
To make sure that Banquo's son wont become king as the witches prediccted.
