A Brooklyn wigmaker charged with mowing down a 32-year-old mom and her two young daughters told first responders she was “possessed” and “had the devil in me,” sources said Sunday.
Miriam Yarimi, 35, who is facing manslaughter charges in the Saturday afternoon horror in Gravesend, rambled when members of the Hatzolah Jewish ambulance service reached her overturned Audi, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Yarimi had been recently ranting that she was being pursued by the CIA, too — and was taken to Bellevue Hospital’s prison ward to undergo a psych evaluation before her arraignment, sources said.
A funeral was being held Sunday afternoon for tragic mom Natasha Saada and her daughters, Diana, 7, and Deborah, 5. Saada’s son, 4-year-old Philip, was also critically hurt in the crash.

Saada’s father is set to fly to Israel with the bodies of his daughter and two granddaughters for burial after the funeral, while her husband will stay back with their fourth child, a baby, and sit shiva while also monitoring their hospitalized son, sources said.
Furniture including beds was removed from the home Sunday to make room for expected visitors during the traditional Jewish period of mourning, according to photos and sources.
Yarimi allegedly told first responders she had “the devil in me” and was “possessed” after the fatal crash. Instagram/iitsanellieYarimi, whose driver’s license was suspended at the time of the crash, refused to talk to police after the crime, only asking for a lawyer, sources said.
Yarimi’s car, which sports the license plate “WIGM8KER,” has racked up more than 93 traffic violations, including 20 speeding tickets that led to more than $10,000 in fines, according to online records.
