Detailed explanation-1: -Q. Why do Ross and Macduff think King Duncan’s sons have killed their father? The sons were jealous of how their father honored Macbeth and Banquo. Both sons have run away, which makes them look guilty.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth kills the “guilty” servants as punishment as King Duncan’s sons, Malcolm and Donalbain arrive. Believing that their own lives are in danger, Duncan’s sons flee the court; Malcolm to England and Donalbain to Ireland. Their decision to run away makes them the prime suspects and King Duncan is buried.
Detailed explanation-3: -Upon Duncan’s death, Malcolm and Donalbain flee from Scotland, fearing that they will suffer a fate similar to Duncan. This is perceived as guilt, and they are blamed for Duncan’s murder. He is later seen hiding in England with Macduff, where he tests Macduff’s loyalty to Scotland and to him by lying about himself.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macduff adds that the chamberlains seem the most likely murderers, and that they may have been paid off by someone to kill Duncan. Suspicion has now fallen on the two princes, Malcolm and Donalbain, because they have fled the scene.
Detailed explanation-5: -Macduff states that he suspects that the king’s sons Malcolm and Donalbain are behind the killing, having suborned the king’s guards. Macbeth, Ross reports, has gone to Scone to be crowned.
