Macbeth stabbed King Duncan and his two royal guards to death. That night, Banquo and his son spoke about the lack of a moon and the presence of heavy wind [Act 2 Scene 1 Lines 2, 4-5]. The next morning, Ross and an Old Man also spoke of atypical weather and animal behavior. Specifically, Ross referred to the pitch blackness of the day [Act 2 Scene 4 Lines 5-10]. The Old Man, in turn, spoke of the unexpected killing of a facon by a mere mousing owl [Lines 10-12]. Then Ross brought up the weird happening of the King's horses suddenly turning wild and breaking loose from their stalls [Lines 16-18]. The Old Man concluded with the shocking news that the horses had eaten each other [Line 18].
During an overnight visit to the Macbeths at Inverness Castle, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and his two royal guards were stabbed to death. The corpses and the crime scene were so bloodied that the perpetrator, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057], couldn't bear to go back [Act 1 Scene 3 Lines 50-52]. The next morning, Macduff stopped by for the King to accompany him to the next stop on the royal journey. Macduff found the dead bodies, which he described as an absolute horror [Line 57, 73].
Macbeth actually gives us no details of the murder. He says, "I have done the deed". After he has killed Duncan, he recounts, about the grooms in the chamber, "There's one did laugh in's sleep, and one cried 'Murder!' That they did wake each other: I stood and heard them: But they did say their prayers, and address'd them Again to sleep."

No, in William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," King Duncan does not bequeath his kingdom to Donalbain. Instead, Duncan is murdered by Macbeth, who then seizes the throne for himself.
They were killed by Macbeth because he blamed them for Duncan's murder.
Macduff found King Duncan's body after he was murdered by Macbeth in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth."
In the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, Duncan's body is taken to the royal palace in Forres after he is murdered by Macbeth.
Well first of all, Lady Macbeth didn't murder King Duncan. She was going to, but for some reason Duncan reminded her of her father and she couldn't bring herself to kill him, so Macbeth murdered the King. He murdered the king so the prophecy the three witches told him would come true....that'd he'd become the king.
Yes, but only after Duncan's murder. As Macbeth thought he heard, "Macbeth shall sleep no more," because he murdered sleep. He murdered Duncan in his sleep and his guilt murders his sleep. Lady Macbeth is also effected by all of this. Later in the play, she sleep walks and tries to wash the blood off of her hands, which symbolizes her unending guilt. She is reliving the nights that Duncan and Banquo were murdered and she is so paranoid that she must sleep with a candle so that she is not murdered in her sleep like Duncan. She is so guilty that she eventually commits suicide.
