An Alliance man has been sentenced to life in prison for two murders after being found guilty in October.
Dominick Dubray, 26, was given two life terms for the murders of Catalina "Cathy" Chavez, 22, and Mike Loutzenhiser, 42. He has the added sentence of 30 to 40 years for two counts of use of a weapon to commit a felony.
According to Attorney General Jon Bruning, "The
violent deaths of Cathy Chavez and her father were the horrific result of
domestic abuse,"
Bruning adds, "Today's sentences ensure Mr. Dubray pays the
price for taking these lives. We will continue to vigorously prosecute
perpetrators of domestic violence in hopes of avoiding tragedies like these."
Dubray
was charged with the crimes in February 2012 after the victims were found dead with multiple stab wounds
in the home shared by Dubray and Chavez.
Assistant
Attorneys General Jeff Gaertig and Matt Lierman handled the case with the aid
of Attorney General's Office investigators Bill Black, Kerry Crosby and Pat
Mason.
