What reason does Macbeth give the hired assassins for their taking revenge?

According to the historical record, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] might have sought revenge for the unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of his family's lands by King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Duncan was killed by his own men before Macbeth could claim his right to do so. Instead, Macbeth's claim to the throne was recognized. Additionally, 14 years later, Duncan's aged father Crinan [d. 1054], the hereditary abbot of Dunkeld, rebelled against Macbeth's rule. This time, Macbeth claimed his right to kill the rebel before anyone else did. According to the Shakespearean play, the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] sought revenge for the murder of his father, Duncan, by Macbeth. But he didn't want to carry out the killing himself. He might have thought that put him on the same level as Macbeth: killing a king in order to become king. So Malcolm saw to his revenge by having as his avenging angel Macduff. Macduff had his own reasons for ending Macbeth's reign and life. Macbeth had planned the Fife Castle massacre by which Macduff's entire family and household were stabbed to death.

Malcolm refers to Macbeth as this dead butcher what does he mean?

Butchers kill animals in quantity so that their meat can be eaten by people. They don't feel any empathy for the animals while doing this (their job would drive them crazy otherwise). By likening Macbeth to a butcher, Malcolm says both that he killed a lot of people and that he didn't feel anything about it. This is not completely true, of course, as anyone who has been watching the play knows, but it helps legitimize Malcolm's claim to the throne. Oh, and why does Malcolm call Macbeth "dead"? Because shortly before he says this Macduff chopped off Macbeth's head and was showing it around.
