Yesterday Kaur, who had admitted manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility, showed no emotion as she was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order by Wolverhampton Crown Court.

The court heard when police arrived at Kaur's home in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, on March 4, she told them she had "projections coming in and out" of their home with "tech and lasers and stuff".

She told officers: "It was me [that killed Shay] because I didn't want her getting took by it."
