“I can tell you that at about 1730 (2130GMT) this evening, a mother returned with her 3-year-old child from swimming lessons, she enters her apartment, the apartment is dark and there comes a time when she goes looking for her children, enters the bathroom and finds her 6-year-old daughter and her 2-year-old son stabbed to death in the tub.

STORYLINE
A New York City mother returned home to her apartment on Thursday to find her two children stabbed to death in a bathtub and their nanny, with self-inflicted stab wounds, lying near them, police said.
The nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, who was found near a knife, is in a critical condition in hospital according to police.
Authorities said she is suspected of killing the children, who were pronounced dead at a hospital.
The children’s mother, Marina Krim, entered the dark apartment with her 3-year-old and initially thought her other two children were out with the 50-year-old nanny, New York Police Commissioner, Raymond Kelly, said.
She went downstairs and asked the doorman at her building, La Rochelle, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, whether he’d seen them leave.
When he said no, she went back upstairs and discovered her 1-year-old son, Leo, and her 6-year-old daughter, Lucia, known as LuLu, in the bathroom.
While Kelly initially stated Leo Krim to be two years old, Police reports later clarified that he was only one year of age.
The children’s father, CNBC digital media executive Kevin Krim, who had been away on a business trip, was met by police at the airport on his return and was given an escort to the hospital where his loved ones had gathered.
The couple’s apartment building sits in one of the city’s most idyllic neighbourhoods, near Central Park.
The neighbourhood is home to many affluent families and seeing children accompanied by nannies is an everyday part of life there, making the idea of such violence even more disturbing to residents.
Kelly said it’s unclear how long the nanny had worked for the family and the police investigation was ongoing.
After police arrived, the mother remained in the building’s lobby, screaming hysterically and clutching her surviving child.
On a webpage devoted to a recent family wedding, the eldest of the children, Lulu, is described as loving “art projects, ballet, and all things princess.”
The youngest, Leo, was said to be just learning how to walk.
The family had moved to New York from San Francisco within the last few years.
The children’s father was named general manager of CNBC’s digital media division in March, after working previously in digital media at Bloomberg.
Their mother had a cooking blog and taught art classes to young children.
The family lived in a stately, late 19th-century apartment building where one three-bedroom unit currently available for rent has an asking price of 10,000 US dollars per month.
