Macbeth wants Banquo dead because Banquo witnessed what the three witches said. The three witches stated that Macbeth would one day become king. Now that Macbeth has become king, and done so by taking the life of the previous King Duncan, he fears that Banquo will spread the word that Macbeth was the one to commit the murder.
