A mother who stabbed her 10-year-old daughter to death has been handed an indefinite hospital order.
Jaskirat Kaur, who stabbed her daughter 11 times in the chest as she slept, was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and believed she was being targeted by "lasers and technology", a court heard. The 33-year-old called 999 on March 4 and told West Midlands Police: "My kid is dead," hours after she killed Shay Kang with a Swiss Army knife at their home in Robin Close, Rowley Regis.
Social workers then became involved as police considered her a "child in need" and an assessment was carried out on September 27. The social worker noted the house was in darkness and Shay did not speak, but looked "relatively healthy but pale" despite having an "unsteady gait" and her arm movements were "stilted and robotic", while Kaur was said to be paranoid and anxious.
