He kills both the guards that are in front of King Duncan's room because he is trying to make everyone else think that they murdered Duncan. Macbeth mentions that he murders those two people specifically because he loves King Duncan too much.

Macbeth kills the guards that were looking after the chamber. The reason he gives of why he killed them because of the love he has for Duncan, therefore, he just killed them out of rage. "Th' expedition of my violent love/Outrun the pauser, reason." 89-90 II.iii
