Mother with Paranoid Schizophrenia Receives Indefinite Hospital Order for Killing Daughter

Jaskirat Kaur was sentenced after admitting to the manslaughter of her 10-year-old daughter Shay Kang, driven by delusions of being targeted by technology.

Jaskirat Kaur, 33, killed her daughter Shay Kang by stabbing her 11 times, believing they were under threat from 'tech and lasers.'
Kaur was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility.
Concerns about Shay's welfare were raised when she missed nine months of school, prompting police and social services involvement.
Two forensic psychiatrists confirmed Kaur's severe mental illness, which led to social isolation and delusional beliefs.
The court's decision for an indefinite hospital order reflects the need to protect the public from potential harm due to Kaur's condition.
