Best Answer

He claims to the others that he killed the guards out of his love for Duncan- "Who could refrain, that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make's love known?" However this argument is quite overdone on his part this is shown when he says "wise, amazed, temp'rate, and furious, loyal and neutral". The real reason would probably have been that he was too scared that one would be a witness and therefore didn't trust Lady Macbeth.
