Since there are five different Scenes in Macbeth called "Scene 3" let's see who dies in them.Act 1: Apart from the witch who has been "killing swine", nobody is killed.Act 2: Duncan was killed in the scene before.Act 3: Banquo is killed.Act 4: Lady Macduff and her children were killed in the scene before.Act 5: Nobody.So it was probably Act 3 you were asking about.
