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".
