The man charged with killing 4-year-old Serenity McKinney was sentenced to 50 years in prison on Thursday.
Dakota Hill was the boyfriend of Serenity’s mother, Catherine “Abby” McKinney.
He pleaded guilty to murder, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence charges back in May.
Serenity’s body was found in West Point, Kentucky in February of last year. An autopsy revealed she was found in a suitcase filled with a sand-like substance, and had fractured bones.
