JASKIRAT KAUR FROM ROWLEY REGIS SENTENCED TO HOSPITAL ORDER AFTER KILLING 10-YEAR-OLD SHAY KANG

A tragic and devastating incident unfolded in Rowley Regis when a mother, Jaskirat Kaur, was responsible for the death of her 10-year-old daughter, Shay Kang. The heartbreaking event took place within the confines of their family home, leaving the community in shock and mourning.

On March 4, Jaskirat Kaur contacted emergency services to report the death of her young daughter. When police officers arrived at the residence, they found Shay Kang deceased and immediately took Kaur into custody. During police questioning, Kaur admitted to having stabbed her daughter the night before the tragic discovery.

Subsequent forensic examinations, including a detailed post-mortem, confirmed that Shay had been subjected to multiple stab wounds in the chest area. The evidence pointed to a violent attack, and Kaur was detained by authorities at the scene. Her mental state was a significant factor in the case, and she was later diagnosed with a mental health episode that contributed to her actions.

In an earlier court hearing, Jaskirat Kaur pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, acknowledging her mental health issues at the time of the incident.

Detective Inspector Dan Jarratt expressed his sentiments on the case, describing it as profoundly distressing for everyone involved. He emphasized that Kaur’s mental health episode was a key factor in the tragic event, and he highlighted the innocence and bright future that Shay Kang had ahead of her. Shay was remembered as a cheerful and intelligent young girl, loved by her family and community alike.
