Dear Swati,
Note that there was a plan set by ravana to send Maricha as a Golden Deer to attract Seetha. 
In Aranya kandam Sargam 36 Slokam 17.
Ravana says to maricha that "you go as a Golden Deer with silver dots on your skin and roam in front of rama's ashram in the vicinity of Seetha". Same is repeated by ravana again in Sargam 40 Sloka 17.
In Aranya Kandam Sargam 43 Sloka 4
Lakshmana says to Rama that " i suspect this golden deer to be that maricha "(whose life was spared earlier).
Keeping this in mind, let us see your question.(why did he kill deer  when seetha asked only to catch it alive and wanted as a pet).
In Aranya kandam Sargam 43 Sloka 18.
Seetha tells rama that "if you cant somehow get it alive, atleast get the skin which will be liked by me"
I think that your question is answered now.
Regards,
Nanmaaran

Sita only asked Rama to get the Deer for her Andhapuram. If Lord Rama was
unable to get hold of the Deer, it is wise thing to let the deer go, than to
Kill. What is the objective here for Killing the Deer, when it is meant to
caught alive to be kept as a pet my Sita piratti.
