The murderers hired to kill Banquo are not named. When the time comes to do the deed, a third murderer joins them. Some speculation has taken place as to who this third murderer might be. Some even suggest that his name might be Macbeth, but this would not make sense since Macbeth seems surprised at the feast when the murderer reports that "Fleance is scaped"
Macbeth does not reveal his plan to kill Banquo and Fleance (Banquo's son) to Lady Macbeth.
Macbeth does not kill Banquo himself possibly because Banquo was his best friend and he could not bear to do it. Furthermore, in not committing the murder itself, he avoids being suspected of the crime.
The three assassins that were hired by Macbeth kill Banquo as he is walking with his son to the palace for a dinner that Macbeth invited him to.

To ensure the murderers will 'dispatch' (kill) Banquo, Macbeth tells them, 'Banquo was your enemy, So he is mine'. Basically, you do not like Banquo and therefore, neither do I. So I encourage you to kill him. It was very manipulative of Macbeth to say this to the murderers. He also threatens their manhood, compares them to dogs and applies various other tactics so he can feel certain they will kill Banquo and Banquo's son, Fleance.
