Rowley Regis mother given hospital order for stabbing daughter to death

At the time of her arrest she admitted to detectives that she had wanted to kill her daughter for the past seven months, and while she was being interviewed she told police: “They can’t adopt her, they can’t take her. It’s not going to make sense, but to me it does.”

She said she was worried about her growing up and that there “needed to be an end date”.

“I would kill her again. I wanted her to die, I don’t regret it,” she said.

The court heard two forensic psychiatrists had determined Kaur had been suffering paranoid schizophrenia at the time.

Prosecutor Sally Howes KC said it was a “deep-seated and long-term” condition, with no guarantee of future improvement.

“In short, she will not recover from this condition quickly and there will remain a real risk of relapse,” she added.
