A Kansas man was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison for the death of his girlfriend’s 19-month-old son.

Twenty-8-year-old Chad Carr of North Newton was sentenced Tuesday to 241 months in the death of Vincent Hill.

Carr pleaded guilty in November to second-degree murder, aggravated battery and child abuse. The boy suffered blunt force injuries and likely died by suffocation.

The boy’s mother, Katheryn Nycole Dale, is serving a 3-year sentence after pleading no contest last July to child abuse and aggravated child endangerment in her son’s death.

The Wichita Eagle reports that after being released from prison, Carr will be under state supervision for three years. And he will have to register as a violent offender.
