Like I said, he framed up the religious guy for it. That doesnt mean he didnt do it. He is a murderer, it isnt like he doesnt have the form is it? Its all well and good to say I dont know anything about it, but I have seen the show. I havent seen every episode, as perhaps you have, but it is quite clear to me that he committed this crime.
It doesnt take much to get underneath this perverts skin in terms of his motivation. He is a murderer, driven by some sick sexual impulse that ticks away inside of him to kill. He has been conditioned by his father to kill only people who truly deserve it.
But he is also a sociopath, a monster in a human skin - who knows how to pretend to be a man to a sufficient degree to get by, but cannot ever really feel what it is like. Do you think he is really a good judge of "who truly deserves it".
His hands are soaked in blood, his first crimes were other killers, sadists, people who he could easily justify killing. But the killing engine inside of him is never sated, and there is never enough blood to be shed. Sooner or later, he will start to see anyone as evil, anyone as deserving of murder.
He feels his wife portrayed him. We know he didnt love her, he is incapable of love (he does not deny he incapable of love, does he?)... but still his pride can be hurt, or he can start to worrt she knows too much...
And so bangs goes the gun, or swish goes the knife... the child set up in a sick parody of the tragedy which marred his own childhood and jolted him onto this path.
Come on, do you really believe that "Trinity" did it? Does that really make sense to you? This might be what Dexter wants the police to think, maybe even what he himself wants to think so he can maintain his lie that he only kills "bad guys"... but the only thing that makes sense is that he did it.
