LAURENS, S.C.—A South Carolina man who killed a 2-year-old child found with bruises and bite marks all over his body and signs of sexual abuse has been sentenced to life in prison after agreeing to plead guilty.

William Looper told investigators he beat and abused the boy for two weeks and couldn’t explain why, Solicitor David Stumbo said.
