Jaskirat Kaur, 33, called 999 on 4 March and told West Midlands Police: "My kid is dead," hours after she killed 10-year-old Shay Kang with a Swiss Army knife at their home in Robin Close, Rowley Regis.
Kaur showed no emotion in the dock at Wolverhampton Crown Court yesterday as Judge Michael Chambers KC sentenced her to an indefinite hospital order after she pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility in August.
When police arrived at their home after the 999 call, the mother-of-one told them she had had "projections coming in and out" of their home, with “tech and lasers and stuff", adding: "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.
She admitted she had wanted to kill her daughter for the past seven months, telling detectives during the interview: "They can't adopt her, they can't take her. It's not going to make sense, but to me it does. I was worried about Shay growing up. I knew that there needed to be an end date. I would kill her again. I wanted her to die, I don't regret it."
Prosecutor Sally Howes KC told the court concerns had been raised about Shay's welfare after she failed to attend Brickhouse Primary School, where she was a Year 5 pupil, for nine months between December 2022 and September 2023, which led to the involvement of police and social services.
Kaur, also known as Jasmine Kang, called police on 11 January 2023 and asked if she could speak to officers on a secure line and requested they were discreet when they arrived at her home.
