Killer Nanny

An Upper West Side nanny was found guilty of perpetrating a parent’s worst nightmare; stabbing to death two children in her care in one of the city’s most heinous crimes in recent memory.
At trial, prosecutors claimed Yoselyn Ortega, 56, “intentionally” stabbed the children to death at their family’s Upper West Side apartment, perhaps out of anger that she’d been asked to do more housework.
Oretega’s defense team argued that the stabbings were “an act of madness” and that the former nanny suffered severe mental illness. Her lawyers claimed “the devil” told her to slaughter the children, while a psychiatrist testified at trial, saying Ortega heard voices telling her to kill others, herself, and then the kids.
Jurors didn’t buy the insanity defense of Killer Nanny, instead finding her guilty on all four counts of murder in the grisly butchering of two Upper West Side tots.
