21-Year-Old Father in Virginia Sentenced for Killing 2-Month-Old Child

According to authorities, Scheffler admitted to hitting the child’s head accidentally, more than once, during rough play, WSET reported.

Investigators reportedly confronted him with the results from the autopsy, which were inconsistent with Scheffler’s version of events. He then changed his story, stating he hit the child’s head against the door frame two to three times, and perhaps a fourth time, officials said.
