Killer nanny once denied her own ‘devil did it’ tale

SHE MAY have damned herself.

The nanny on trial for stabbing to death two kids in her care undermined her own insanity defense in 2016 when she repeatedly admitted to a prosecution expert that commands from the devil had nothing to do with it.

On Monday, the jury in Yoselyn Ortega’s trial saw video of her unequivocal denials of hearing voice instructions from Satan — which undercuts her defense team’s explanation for the horrific knife attack in which Ortega killed Lulu and Leo Krim, ages 6 and 2, on Oct. 25, 2012.

“Do you remember (the devil) at all talking to you? . . . Taking control of your body? . . . Had you ever thought the devil was doing this to you?” asked psychologist Ali Khadvi.

“No,” Ortega, who sounded coherent, responded firmly.

Footage of the July 2016 interview was shown to riveted jurors at Ortega’s first-degree murder trial in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Khadivi said the 55-year-old suspect was just “experiencing the symptoms of anxiety and depression” when she fatally attacked the helpless victims and plunged a knife into her own neck inside the Krim family’s W. 75th St apartment.
