Victim's victims: His girlfriend. A father of two.


Dexter's kill methods and rituals: Completely covered the boxing ring in his usual plastic with a table in the middle. Benny is plastic wrapped to the table and Dexter is jealous he gets to sleep. Dexter smells a smelling salt to wake himself up and does a little boxing dance. Takes his blood slide and Rita interrupts with a phone call so Dexter kills Benny quick.

Dexter's last words to victim: "I'm the blood guy" & " You've made alot of people very miserable-including me"

Close calls/slip-ups: Because Rita calls Dexter, asking him to go to a pharmacy, Dexter kills Benny hastily and hides the body.

He remembers that they are hidden in a punching bag hoisted up to the ceiling when he sees blood dripping onto the boxing arena.


Season 4
Benito Gomez was a former boxer who beat up couple of people to death, to the point of disfiguration. He became Dexter's first victim in Season 4.

Gomez was arrested by Joey Quinn and was being prosecuted. However a fatigued Dexter brought wrong evidence to the court and Gomez was released, which caused Quinn to get very upset with Dexter. Gomez was later caught by Dexter when he was at home and killed in an abandoned boxing ring.
