The nanny, who was found near a knife, was hospitalized in critical condition and was in police custody, and authorities said she is suspected of killing the children, who were pronounced dead at a hospital.NEW YORK – The mother of two young children found stabbed to death in the family’s luxury apartment near Central Park kept a loving blog of her children, detailing their latest antics and interests, and full of happy photos.
Marina Krim returned home on Thursday with a third child to find her 2-year-old Leo and 6-year-old Lucia dead in the bathtub. Police say the nanny lay injured nearby with apparently self-inflicted stab wounds.
In one entry, Krim says that after dropping her two older children at school she cherished the “3 precious hours with little” Leo.
The nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, was found near a knife with stab wounds to her neck. She was hospitalized in critical condition.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said it was unclear how long the nanny had worked for the family. No charges have been filed.
