Lulu, Leo and surviving sister, Nessie(obscured) |
I read this story and my heart bled for this woman. A mother, Marina Krim, returned
to her luxurious Manhattan apartment around 5.30pm on Thursday to find her
two-year-old son and six-year-old daughter had been stabbed to death in
the bathtub by their nanny, who then slit her own throat in a failed
suicide attempt.
She arrived at the apartment
with her other daughter, three-year-old Nessie, to find son Leo and
daughter Lulu lying in a pool of blood each with multiple stab wounds. The nanny, 50-year-old Yoselyn Ortega, survived her suicide attempt and is in police custody. Neighbours said they heard the mother screaming saying "You slit her throat!" and that it was horrible.
RIP little angels. Sincerely, only God understands why, 'cos I don't. Pls continue to read more of this horrifying incident...
Mrs Krim, returned home after
Ortega, the nanny, failed to meet her and Nessie for swimming lessons with the
other children.She entered the apartment but found it dark. She returned to
the lobby to ask the doorman if he had seen the children and, when he
said they had not left, she returned to the home and looked through each
room. She finally switched on the bathroom lights and discovered the horrifying scene. There she found Ortega on the floor with a slit throat and with her wrists cut and bleeding, with a kitchen knife was nearby. Mrs Krim also found her two children in
the bathtub with stab wounds covering their bodies, and then tried to
stop the nanny's neck from bleeding with a towel, according to the Post. She started screaming at the top of her lungs. She was screaming, "Help me! Help me!
"Neighbours dialed
911 and, although Lulu and Leo reportedly appeared to be breathing when
medics arrived, they were pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. Ortega
was unresponsive but was taken to New York-Cornell Hospital in a
critical but stable condition. She was in a stable condition on Friday
morning and police sources say she may have also taken pills. Mrs
Krim was also
taken to hospital for treatment, and was sedated. A neighbour said the woman had left the building 'inconsolable, hysterical, frantic'.
Her
husband, Kevin Krim, a CBNC executive, had been on a business trip and was met by police
at the airport when he returned to New York. Officers recounted the
horror to him and he was escorted to the hospital. Mr
and Mrs Krim remained at St. Luke's hospital last night with Mrs Krim's
sister. Police said the shocked mother was unable to communicate.
The
family hired Ortega a year ago, until which time Mrs Krim had been a
stay-at-home mother. When
Leo was born, they searched for a nanny. They even spent nine days with
her (the nanny) family in the Dominican Republic, as documented on Mrs Krim's
online journal. Ortega has no criminal record. Ortega's niece,
Katherine Garcia, said that her aunt had been 'acting kind of nervous
lately' but insisted that she had loved the children. Police said there
were no immediate explanations for the murders and suicide attempt.
Mrs Krim, who teaches weekly art lessons to children, kept an online journal entitled 'Life with
the Krim Kids', which she had last updated just three hours before the
murders. She had written: 'Leo speaks in the most adorable way possible.'
