Aftermath
of the slaying of two young children in the affluent New York suburbs
by their deadly domestic-aid and with the images of the dead children
posted nationwide, the online digital diary that their mother updated
constantly-has been taken down to prevent further images appearing
online or in newspapers.
Marina Krim, the mother of the children discovered her children lying
in the family’s bathtub with multiple stab wounds inflicted by their 50
year old nanny, nicknamed as “Josie”. The psychopath is presently in
critical condition with medically induced coma.
Investigations have revealed that the six year-old Lucia had fought until her last breadth defending the repeated attacks by the knife wielding woman, who is from Dominican Republic. Her sister, who introduced the woman to the family, has threatened to kill herself over the slayings. The motive of the killings is still unknown and speculations were rife that she would have taken some sort of pills before carrying out the heinous crime that has shocked the community.
Marina Krim, husband, Kevin Krim, vice president and general manager of CNB digital, was on his way after attending a business trip. He tweeted from the flight “The in-flight wifi on my cross-country flight right now is completely overwhelmed by NFL, MLB, DWTS and Debate. I give up.”
Hundreds of people lay flowers opposite the family’s apartment and condolence messages were penned in every social media sites. Some openly called out for prayers and one tweet said “at the hour of the grief, we are with you”.
A neighbor, Charlotte Friedman, who lives in the same complex, has told that she was the last person to see the children alive. She said she saw the youngsters and Ortega as they took the elevator together. Just half an hour later, she heard the blood-curdling screams.
‘The mother was bent over her child on the floor, screaming and holding on to the only live child,’ a neighbor, Charlotte Friedman, recounted. ‘They were primal screams, they were not human. They were very deep, dark screams.’
‘I was playing with the children in the elevator,’ Friedman said. ‘The girl looked so delightful. I asked her if she was going on a play date or something and she said she was going home.
‘I said, “What did you do,” and she said, “Dancing.” And that was it – they were only on the second floor so they left.
‘She was smiling, happy, happy happy. The nanny just smiled – and nothing. The nanny was a colder type from most nannies that I have encountered.
‘She was poker faced. She wasn’t the warmest person. I never saw her as the warmest nanny.’
Ortega’s niece, Katherine Garcia, added that her aunt had been ‘acting kind of nervous lately’ but insisted that she had loved the children.
Friends said she had lost her apartment in the Bronx and was forced to move in her sister in Harlem. Police added that her family said she may have visited a psychologist recently.
Police said there were no immediate explanations for the murders and suicide attempt. Paul J. Browne, from the police department, told the New York Times he did not know a note had been left.
The family had also apparently provided funds for the nanny to purchase an airline ticket to help her to visit her folks in Dominican Republic.
