Lenox is discussing Duncan's murder and analyzing every aspect of it. He concludes that Fleance killed him because he was the one who fled away. He also mentions Macbeth killing of the two servants. The lord speaks of Malcolm and that he is living with King Edward where Malcolm is treated with respect. The lords says that Malcolm went to King Edward for help because Malcolm wants to join forces with Siward.

I would say that Lennox is actually using sarcasm to hint at Macbeth's guilt in all the murders. He is saying that it is strange that Fleance would have killed his father, but it must have been like that because he was there. Then, Lennox hints at Macbeth's intnetions of hiding his crime by reflecting on how convenient it was for Macbeth to kill the drunk, asleep servants so that they could not deny their accusation for Duncan's murder.
