Macbeth turns them against Banquo by reminding them that they have been placed inferior in position by Banquo and that they should not let him get a way with it. Second he tells them that Banquo is a threat to himself as king and therefore should be rid of.

Macbeth tells the murderers that Banquo has betrayed them but he doesn't explain how. He also taunts them for their lack of manliness. It may well be that what is most persuasive to them is the payment they expect. They are hired murderers; they don't need any other persuading. Macbeth's speeches about how "Banquo is their enemy" may be nothing more than Macbeth trying to persuade himself that the murderers of his friend are people with a just grievance, and not just grubby hitmen.

Macbeth wanted to kill Banquo because the prophecy, which Banquo's sons would become kings. He was not satisfied with his power which his son could not have any more, so he manipulate three murderers to kill Banquo. He said "Know that it was he, in the times past, which held you so under fortune, which you thought had been our innocent self. How you were borne in hand, how crossed, the instrument, who thought with them, and all things else that might to half a soul and to a notion crazed say, 'thus did Banquo'". He convinced murderers that their suffering was Banquo's fault; Banquo let them have terrible lives and could also let their generations have the same lives as them. Therefore, Banquo deserved to die because of what he did. Macbeth also said "so is he mine; and in such bloody distance that every minute of his being thrusts against my near'st of life". He told them that Banquo was our enemy, who was a threat to himself as a king, and if they kill Banquo, they would be closer to him. Poor people all felt indebted of king's favor, so they would do whatever the king said in order to have a better relationship with the king.

It sort of sounds from the way Macbeth is talking that these murderers had a grudge against Banquo, and so needed little persuading.

Who kills king ducan Macbeth or Lady Macbeth?

She kills herself. After convincing Macbeth to kill so many people to get power, her guilt kicks in. This guilt is manifest when she walks in her sleep, talking of washing her hands of the blood, i.e. guilt. It eventually completely consumes her, and she commits suicide.In Act 5, Scene 1, a Doctor and Gentlewoman observe Lady Macbeth sleepwalking. After observing, the doctor advises the Gentlewoman to "Remove from her the means of all annoyance" (V i 78). He is telling her to keep away from Lady Macbeth anything she could use to kill herself.In Act 5, Scene 5, Macbeth hears a cry within of women,and it can be assumed that this is either Lady Macbeth or her attendants who have discovered her dead body. Seyton, a nobleman loyal to Macbeth, comes to him and says "The Queen, my lord, is dead." (V v 18).In the final speech of the play, in Act 5, Scene 8, Malcolm refers to Macbeth's "fiend-like Queen, who, as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands took off her life." (V iix 81-83). This means that it is believed by most people that Lady Macbeth commited suicide.


How do the murders plan to implicate Duncan's grooms?

Lady Macbeth wants to use their daggers to stab Duncan and then smear them with Duncan's blood. When Macbeth fails to do this, she does it herself.
