A woman who stabbed her daughter 11 times in the chest as she slept has been given an indefinite hospital order.
Shay Kang was found at a house in Robin Close in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, on 4 March.
Her mother Jaskirat Kaur had paranoid schizophrenia and believed she was being targeted by “lasers and technology”, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard.
The 33-year-old admitted manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility at the same court in August.
She had denied murdering her daughter and her manslaughter plea was accepted by prosecutors.
The court heard she killed her 10-year-old daughter with a Swiss Army knife and then called emergency services hours later to say: “My kid is dead”.
When police arrived at their home after the 999 call, the mother-of-one told them there had been “projections coming in and out” of their home, with “tech and lasers and stuff”.
She told them: “It was me [that killed her], because I didn’t want her getting took by it.”
Those in the public gallery sobbed as graphic details of the moment Kaur killed her daughter were read to the court.
