Three for Banquo, six men to Macduff's castle
Banquo is his best friend. Aside from that, Banquo is well loved by many, and if he were to be killed by Macbeth, it would look bad on him. By having the murderers do it, he can mourn Banquo's death and be free of suspicion.
Macbeth only hired 2 murderers to attack Banquo and his son, but there ended up being 3 murderers.
Macbeth is deadly but not as deadly as his wife Lady Macbeth, who is the one encouraging him into all his killings. Upon her orders it was that he found himself killing Banquo and hiring three murderers to kill King Duncan and many more later on in the play.
The ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth one time during the banquet scene in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth."
There are two murderers in act 3 scene 3 in Macbeth.

there are 3
Macbeth decides to kill Banquo out of fear. he is afrait of Banquo out of two reasons, the first being that Banquo had defied him in act two by not agreeing to help him. the second reason is that Banquo is questioning how Macbeth got so many things go his way after the witches prophosy The third reason Macbeth is afraid is that the witches prophesise that Banquo's son will sit on the crown, if his son is sitting on the crown Macbeth will obviusly be dead
Macbeth is telling Banquo's ghost not to shake his head at him. Banquo knows that Macbeth had him killed and is filling Macbeth's heart with shame but shaking his gory locks at him. His face is covered in blood and he has many gashes on his head, which is where the blood/gore would be coming from.
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).
The three witches in Shakespeare's play Macbeth predict that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland, and that Banquo's descendants will become kings. Many get confused and think that one of the predictions is that Macbeth will become Thane of Glamis. However this is not a prediction; when the witches meet Macbeth, he is already Thane of Glamis. They also predicted that they would kill him and rape him
