from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronald Joseph Dominique (born January 9, 1964 in Thibodaux ) is an American serial killer from the Bayou Blue region near Houma , Louisiana .

Arrested on December 1, 2006, Dominique confessed to a series of 23 rapes and murders of men committed between 1997 and 2006 in the Terrebonne Parish area , Lafourche Parish , Iberville Parish , Jefferson Parish and the New Orleans area . His last victim, Chris Sutterfield, had died two months earlier. The investigators had been put on his track by the police report of a man who had successfully defended himself against being tied up by Dominique.

In his confession, Dominique, who claims to be homosexual , stated that he went to gay bars in the region in order to find men who were prostituting themselves . He believed that doing this would not go to jail.

After raping his victims, he said that it was better to kill them before they could report the crime to the police. He has been charged with rape and premeditated murder on several counts.

To avoid the death penalty, Dominique pleaded guilty to premeditated murder. On September 23, 2008, he was sentenced to eight times life imprisonment.
