'I'm paid to watch the children, not to clean': Manhattan 'killer' nanny tells police she was angry at family because they asked her to do housework
"Yoselyn Ortega, age 50, was yesterday arrested and charged with two counts each of murder in the first and second degrees in the stabbing deaths on October 25 of two children in her care, Lucia Krim, 6, and her brother, Leo, who would have turned 2 years of age five days later on October 30," New York Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne said in a statement.
Ortega, who tried to kill herself at the crime scene, agreed to talk to New York City detectives in a bedside interview at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she had been under police guard since the double homicide in the bathroom of Apartment 2 FG at 587 West 75th St in Manhattan ... at 6:06 p.m., Ortega was formally arrested and charged with murdering both children."
On Thursday, October 25th, Marina Krim came home around 5:30 p.m. after taking her 3-year-old to a swim class at the YMCA. She arrived home to a dark and quiet apartment and initially thought the nanny had taken the children out.
