Police have released a picture of Eltiona Skana - the woman who killed seven-year-old Emily Jones in a Bolton park on Mother's Day.
The 30-year-old, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, cut the child across the neck with a craft knife she had bought earlier in the day, a jury was told last week.
Skana was found not guilty after a seven-day trial at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court ended with the prosecution telling jurors it would no longer pursue a murder charge.
She was sentenced today (Tuesday) at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court after pleading guilty to manslaughter at an earlier hearing.
She was given a life sentence, with a minimum term of 8 years, but will be detained in hospital and only be sent to prison if her treatment allows it.
Judge Mr Justice Wall told her: "What this means is that you will be detained in hospital until no longer necessary. If or when it's no longer necessary you will be released to prison."
If Skana is never fit to be released to prison she will remain in treatment at hospital indefinitely.
During the course of the trial, the court heard that Skana had been sectioned twice before, in 2015 and 2017.
On the first occasion her sister had told authorities about the defendant's threatening behaviour and on the second she had attacked her own mother, chaining a door shut in her home and hitting her over the head with an iron
After both incidents, Skana was treated in hospital and gradually allowed back into the community through monitored days out.
She had come into the UK in 2014, travelling from her home country of Albania through Germany, in a trip arranged by one of her sisters, the court heard.
She applied to the Home Office for asylum and was initially rejected, before being given leave to stay in this country until 2024.
Since her attack on Emily, Skana has been a patient at Rampton Hospital - a high-security facility in Nottinghamshire - and has appeared via video link through the majority of the trial proceedings.
She was present in court to receive her sentence today (Tuesday) but was flanked by court officers.
