No. He could have very easily killed Simba but instead decided on a play of sympathy.

I think that was actually somewhat intelligent what Scar did even if it backfired. If they had found Simba’s corpse and Scar had killed him, they’d know simply from the injuries it was him. At worst if they found Simba’s corpse when it came to the hyenas, he could throw them under the bus.
