35-year-old Shayna Bharuchi of Somali origin was arrested after her daughter's body was found stabbed to death in the kitchen with her heart and other vital organs cut out and strewn around her flat, the 'Daily Mail' reported.
The woman was allegedly chanting verses of the Koran as her daughter's disembowelled corpse lay next to her in the home in East London; she had her MP3 player on full blast as she listened to the Muslim holy book, the report said.
The woman was arrested on Thursday after her partner Jerome Negney, believed to be a Muslim convert, had informed the police after seeing the mother of two teenage children clutching a kitchen knife in their home.
He dialled 999 and paramedics pronounced the girl dead at the scene, the report said.
The Metropolitan Police's Child Abuse Investigation Command is leading the murder inquiry. They are not believed to be looking for anybody else.
