New York City Nanny Yoselyn Ortega Charged in Stabbing Death of 2 Children
The New York Police Department formally charged Upper West Side nanny Yoselyn Ortega with the slaying of two young children with a kitchen knife last month.
"Yoselyn Ortega, age 50, was tonight 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.
Browne, the NYPD's chief spokesman said that Ortega was "no longer intubated and recuperating from what appeared to be wounds she inflicted herself at the crime scene."
Ortega "agreed to talk to New York City detectives this afternoon 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 formerly arrested and charged with murdering both children."
