Evil nanny Yoselyn Ortega convicted of butchering two young children in jealous rage as their tearful dad hugs jurors

THIS heartbreaking photo shows a grieving father hugging jurors  – moments after evil nanny Yoselyn Ortega was convicted of killing his kids in a jealous rage.

In an emotional courtroom scene, distraught Kevin Krim broke down in tears as he thanked those who found Ortega guilty of four counts of murder.

As the verdict was announced, Mr Krim stared coldly at Ortega, who sat emotionless in the dock.

The 55-year-old nanny said she heard voices from the devil when she repeatedly plunged a kitchen knife into Lucia Krim, six, and her two-year-old brother Leo, according to her defence lawyer.

Ortega was jailed for life yesterday for butchering the tots at the Krims’ New York apartment in October 2012.

Ortega’s trial heard that she was a spiteful woman, whose rage over her own failures grew increasingly intense in the weeks and days before her killing spree.




Prosecutors said Ortega was jealous of the children's mum, Marina Krim, and felt guilty for failing to raise her own son, who she left with a sister in the Dominican Republic when he was four.

During the trial Kevin Krim burst into tears as Ortega was convicted  – while she sat stone-faced and remained motionless in the dock.

Earlier in case Mrs Krim had screamed from the witness stand at Ortega, who sat impassively just 10 feet away.

Mrs Krim shouted across the courtroom: “You’re evil and you like this. You’re getting pleasure. Get me out of here. Please, get me out of here. Get me out."

And Mr Krim brought the courtroom to tears when he described seeing the bodies of his children.

He said: “They still had this perfect skin and these long eyelashes.

“They had like sandy brown hair … You could see they tried really hard to wash all the blood out but there was still kind of an auburn tint to it that I remember to this day.



“I got down to my knees. I said, ‘I’m sorry.’ I said ‘I love you,’ and I kissed them and I said goodbye.”

Ortega was looking after the young children in the Krim's luxury New York apartment when she hallucinated that a devil told her "to kill the children and herself", her trial heard.

The court heard she had taken the children to their apartment – instead of Lulu's dance class – and stabbed them to death with kitchen knives in the bathroom.

She then placed them in the bath before mum Mrs Krim walked in on the horror scene just as Ortega began slicing her own wrists and plunging a knife into her throat, reports the Daily News.

Summing-up on Monday, Assistant District Attorney Stuart Silberg said: “She did it intentionally with a full understanding of exactly what it was she was doing.

“Every stab, every slash — each one had a purpose and that purpose was to end the lives of those children.
