NEW YORK Police say they believe a nanny at a luxury New York City apartment building has stabbed a TV executive's two small children to death and stabbed herself.
They say dad Kevin Krim was away on a trip and their mother found them in a bathtub after returning home with another child.
Police say mom Marina Krim arrived at the dark apartment near Central Park on Thursday evening and initially thought the nanny had taken the children out. He says when she looked in the bathroom she saw 1-year-old Leo and 6-year-old LuLu dead.
The nanny was found with stab wounds to her neck, and a kitchen knife was nearby, police said. There was no water in the bathtub, they said.
"Both children were taken to St. Luke's Hospital where they were pronounced dead," said NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said, as reported by WCBS 880.
Music therapist Rima Starr, who lives on the same floor as the family, said she heard screams coming from their apartment at around 5:30 p.m.
"There was some kind of screaming about, `You slit her throat!' It was horrible," she said.
She said she believed the nanny had been hired just recently.
"I met her in the elevator, the day before yesterday, and was making small talk," she said.
After police arrived, she said, the mother remained in the building's lobby, screaming hysterically and clutching her surviving child.
The nanny was in police custody and was hospitalized in critical condition.
The apartment building sits in one of the city's most idyllic neighborhoods, a block from Central Park, near the Museum of Natural History and blocks from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. A drugstore is in the bottom of the building.

The lawsuit is said to involve officials located in the highest offices of government and the financial sector.
Since this information was surprisingly revealed by the mainstream news organization there has been a very suspicious and deadly fallout at the CNBC headquarters.
Within hours the original page for the article was taken down, and CNBC senior vice president Kevin Krim received news that his children were killed under very suspicious circumstances.
It seems that the murder happened first and then the page was removed later.
According to mainstream accounts the children's nanny is responsible for the murders, allegedly stabbing both children.
However, those same mainstream news sources report the highly unlikely story that the nanny slit her own throat just after committing the homicides.
Article doesn't say if Starr called the police. Sounds as if she didn't. If not, why not? What the heck is a "music therapist" anyway?
"There was some kind of screaming about, `You slit her throat!' It was horrible," she said."
And she didn't call the police after hearing this horrible statement? This also makes me wonder if there was someone else present in the apartment besides the nanny.
