LONDON—A British foster child who told police “Looks like I got my first kill” after he ran over the 60-year-old woman caring for him with her own car was sentenced Wednesday to two years in custody.

The boy, who was 12 at the time, fatally struck Marcia Grant when she tried to stop him from taking her car and fled the scene on April 5. When he was arrested about an hour later, he used a series of expletives and threatened to kill the family of a police woman, prosecutors said.
