Or some combination of these.

Hamlet hears this, and thinking it's Claudius, runs toward the tapestry and pierces through it with his sword, accidentally stabbing Polonius.
Why does Claudius execte hamlet for the murder of polonius?
Claudius seeks to execute Hamlet for the murder of Polonius as a way to eliminate a threat to his own power and to maintain control over the kingdom.

Additionally, Polonius' death creates a political crisis that Claudius wants to resolve swiftly to prevent further unrest. Ultimately, this decision reflects Claudius’ manipulative and self-serving nature.
