WAVERLY, Ohio—A man convicted in the killings of eight members of an Ohio family was sentenced Monday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

George Wagner IV was sentenced after an emotional hearing at which the victims’ family members spoke of their devastation and grief, and urged the judge to show no mercy toward a man they called evil and remorseless.
