Mother Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter of Daughter

Jaskirat Kaur, a 33-year-old Indian-origin woman, has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of her 10-year-old daughter, Shay Kang, on the grounds of diminished responsibility. Shay was found dead in their home in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, on March 4, having suffered stab wounds to the chest. Kaur, who initially denied murder, had her plea accepted by the prosecution, with sentencing scheduled for October 25. Tributes have poured in for Shay, described by her school, Brickhouse Primary School, as a 'bright, happy, fun-loving child'. The case has drawn community support, including a Go Fund Me campaign for Shay's funeral, reflecting the impact of her tragic death. Kaur's defense highlighted that there was 'no dispute over the facts' in this heartbreaking case.
