A nanny accused of brutally stabbing two children to death in the bathtub of their luxurious Manhattan home returned to court today after being ruled fit to stand trial for murder.
Yoselyn Ortega, 50, wore her dark hair tied back in a braid for the brief hearing at Manhattan Supreme Court and her self-inflicted stab wound on her neck was clearly visible.
The scar shows where the nanny attempted to slit her own throat on October 25 after Marina Krim came home to her Upper West Side apartment to find her daughter Lucia, six, and her son, Leo, two, dead in a pool of blood in the bath.
The short appearance comes after Ortega was examined by two mental health professionals, both of whom found that she could assist in her defense in a meaningful way and that she was mentally fit to proceed to her trial. Her lawyer is challenging those results.
Last month, Ortega claimed someone else killed the children she's accused of stabbing all over their bodies in the Krims home.

'I didn't do that,' the nanny insisted in jailhouse interview with New York Daily News.
'Someone else did.'
Ortega did not say who else could be responsible for murdering the children.
