Upper West Side Nanny Stabs Toddlers And Attempts To Commit Suicide

What the hell??? You can’t trust anyone these days.

According to The Daily Mail, the children’s Mother was at swim practice with their three-year-old sister and came home to find a horrific scene.

A nanny at a luxury New York City apartment stabbed two children to death in a bathtub before trying to kill herself, police said today – and their anguished mother made the grim discovery.

They said the children’s mother found them after returning home with another child.

The mother, Marina Krim, arrived home with her 3-year-old daughter Nessie to find Leo, 2, and Lulu, 6, dead in the apartment at a building called La Rochelle on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Mr Krim was met by police at the airport when he returned to New York and was given an escort to the hospital where his loved ones had gathered.

His wife originally thought her other two children were out with the nanny, 50-year-old Yoselyn Ortega, NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

She went downstairs and asked the doorman at her building whether he’d seen them leave. When he said no, she went back upstairs and discovered the bodies of Leo and Lulu in the bathtub, Kelly said.

It’s unclear how many times the children were stabbed.

The nanny was found on the bathroom floor with stab wounds to her neck, and a kitchen knife was close by, police said.

There was no water in the bathtub, they said.

Kelly said it’s unclear how long the nanny had worked for the family and the police investigation was ongoing.

A neighbor of the family, who said she had just met the nanny for the first time on Wednesday, told the New York Post: ‘It’s horrifying, it’s a very quiet building.’

She described the woman as ‘very quiet,’ and just ‘stared ahead.’

Police said Ortega is in custody. She’s hospitalized in critical condition.

Hope the nanny makes it through the night so she can spend the rest of her life rotting in a cell.
