The play doesn't say so, but it is a plausible interpretation. Macbeth wants to be safe; it wouldn't be safe having these cutthroats who know he was involved in Banquo's death hanging around.

Why has Macbeth gone to see the weird sisters again?

It is because he wants more specific information on their predictions that Macbeth goes to see the witches a second time in "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare.Specifically, Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) kills King Duncan and the two royal chamberlains. He hires murderers to kill Banquo and his son Fleance. But Fleance escapes.Macbeth therefore wants to find out what the witches will say about the permanence of his own rule, and what they will say about Banquo's line taking over the throne now that Banquo is dead. He is past the point of no return and wants specific details of the threats to his power and of the identity of his successors.In short, Macbeth wants to know how many more heinous plans he needs to put into effect (Act 3 Scene 4 Lines 134-138).
