Best Answer

Macduff escaped from Scotland, to join King Duncan's son Malcolm in England. He left his family behind, and without telling them anything of his departure. Ross visited Macduff's family just before they were killed by Macbeth's hired murderers. So Ross followed Macduff to England, and gave him the sorry news.
