New York: The nanny suspected to be behind the killing of Leo and Lulu began stabbing herself as the children’s mother entered the bathroom only to find the dead bodies in the bathtub.
The nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, has reportedly killed the children on Thursday and attempted suicide.
She was employed by the family almost two years ago.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Ortega had been referred to the Krims by another family. She has been a naturalised US citizen for over ten years and had been living with her son and sister near the Krims’ apartment off Central Park.
The police haven’t charged the 50-year-old nanny as they had not been able to interview her due to his critical injuries.
“We know now that the nanny began to stab herself as the woman entered the bathroom,” Kelly said.
“We initially thought it was, it had already been done, but now information is coming out that she did it as the mother entered the room.”
Ortega remains the prime suspect in the stabbing death of the two children, Leo, 2, and Lulu, 6, Kelly said.
