COLUMBIA, S.C.C—Convicted killer Alex Murdaugh didn’t tell the truth when FBI agents repeatedly asked him where more than $6 million he stole ended up and whether another attorney not yet identified helped him steal from clients and his law firm, federal prosecutors said in court documents Tuesday.

The prosecutors want a judge to revoke their end of a plea deal with Mr. Murdaugh on theft and other charges and order him to a maximum of well over 100 years in prison when he is sentenced in Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday.
