Mother Sentenced After Stabbing Daughter to Death

Jaskirat Kaur, a 33-year-old mother, has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order after admitting to the manslaughter of her 10-year-old daughter, Shay Kang, whom she stabbed 11 times in a delusional state. Kaur believed they were being targeted by 'tech and lasers' and expressed no remorse, stating she had wished to kill her daughter for months to prevent her from being taken away. The tragedy occurred in their home in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, where police found Shay deceased with multiple stab wounds. Kaur's guilty plea was accepted by the Crown, based on her severe mental illness, which led to a socially isolated existence for both mother and daughter. The local community has responded with grief and support efforts in memory of Shay, who was described as a bright and joyful child. This case highlights the tragic intersection of mental health issues and domestic violence.
