At nanny murder trial, mother recounts 'horror' of seeing her 2 kids dead: 'She killed my best friends'

The mother of two young children stabbed to death in their New York City home, allegedly by their nanny, in court today recounted the moment she came home to find her son and daughter covered in blood in the bathtub.

“She killed my best friends," Marina Krim said of her former nanny, Yoselyn Ortega.

"You’re disgusting," Krim said to Ortega as she left the stand.

Ortega is on trial for allegedly killing 6-year-old Lulu Krim and 2-year-old Leo Krim at the Krim family's idyllic Upper West Side apartment on Oct. 25, 2012, in a crime that shocked parents in the largest U.S. city.

Ortega, now 55, was charged with two counts each of first-degree murder and second-degree murder and is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity.

Prosecutors say Ortega knew what she was doing and "intentionally and savagely slaughtered" the two children in her care because she resented the children's mother. Prosecutors say, despite what defense attorney claim, there's "no credible evidence" to establish any mental disease or defect.
