Courts release 911 call of man who beheaded tot

For the first time, the public is hearing the 911 call made by a Delta, B.C. man who had just killed his two-year-old daughter.

Lakvinder Kahlon strangled his daughter, Rajwinder, and then cut off her head in January 2008.

The judge released the 911 call Friday after handing Kahlon received an automatic life term when he pleaded guilty to her second-degree murder last week.

In the call to the Delta Police department, Kahlon tells the operator he has just killed his daughter and asks police to come arrest him.

"I...I have depression I am very depressed...so come," Kahlon told the operator.

When asked what he did to his young daughter, Kahlon said "I kill her...I cut neck. I killed her already."

Kahlon's wife can be heard screaming in the background of the call.

The out of work drywaller originally pleaded not guilty two weeks ago when the trial began, but abruptly changed his plea without an explanation.

The court heard horrific details about the killing of his daughter Rajvinder. The girl was stabbed and beheaded while her mother was taking the couple's other daughters to school. She returned to find her kitchen covered with blood. Kahlon had already called 911.

In her judgment, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Arne Silverman said Kahlon is mentally ill and the killing had nothing to do with the fact that he had no sons.

There had been speculation earlier that Kahlon was depressed because he had only daughters.

But court heard the drywall worker was depressed because he was unemployed and worried about supporting his family.
