The heart-broken daughter of a security guard fatally stabbed<\/a> by a deranged career-criminal in the Bronx wept as she recalled her beloved father to The Post, saying, \u201cHe was the best dad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just keep crying,\u201d Nana Yaa Fosua Ennin, whose dad George was killed as he walked to work this week in Mott Haven, said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Father-of-two George Ennin, 53, was jumped and stabbed multiple times.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not fair to me,\u201d the teary 18-year-old said. \u201cI didn\u2019t even get to touch him. I didn\u2019t get to feel him and I just keep crying and I don\u2019t even know what to do. I just wish I could at least hug him physically.\u201d<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s sister, Lucy Adusei, and daughter Nana Yaaa Fosua Ennin on phone. J.C. Rice<\/p>\n

She last spoke to her dad two days before he died, while she was away visiting her aunt in Maryland.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so sad to see him gone too soon,\u201d\u00a0 said the teen who recently graduated from high school and has a 17-year-old sister. \u201cIt was not his time to go at all and someone just cut his life short.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sean Jones, a 38-year-old repeat offender with a history of violent assaults in Manhattan and the Bronx, was charged with murder, manslaughter and weapons possession in the unprovoked attack, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jones pleaded not guilty Friday night and is being held without bail. <\/p>\n

The victim was the eldest of six children. One sister, Lucy Adusei, 42, said she was frustrated by New York\u2019s lax criminal justice system and amazed that someone with Jones\u2019 criminal history could be on the street.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think New York law is too lenient with people like this,\u201d the psychiatric nurse said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sisters were shattered over their brother\u2019s death. J.C. Rice<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes people do it knowingly, they know exactly what they\u2019re doing but they pretend that once the issue happens it\u2019s a psychiatric issue,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m a psychiatric nurse. Sometimes they do these things on purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her brother didn\u2019t deserve to die and she wants justice, she told The Post.<\/p>\n

Anastasia Brentuo talks about the fatal stabbing of her brother George Ennin. J.C. Rice<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it was up to me the death sentence would be good for him,\u201d she said of the suspect, noting New York doesn\u2019t have the death penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ironic\u00a0part of it is that even if it\u2019s life imprisonment, you know what? I\u2019m still gonna work and my taxes are going to feed him,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

She\u2019ll never be able to unsee the video of the fatal confrontation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe video is registered in my mind,\u201d she said. \u201cI cannot erase the video, it\u2019s stuck in my memory. It will be there forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

A candlelight vigil has been planned for the immigrant from Ghana.<\/p>\n

Another sister, Regina Adusei Brenfaah, 46, had the unfortunate task of telling her mother and sisters about George\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018No, it\u2019s not George, it\u2019s not George, he had no enemies!\u2019\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

Sister Anatasia Brentuo, 52, remembered getting that call.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Our brother is gone, he\u2019s gone, somebody stabbed him, he\u2019s dead!\u2019\u201d she recalled her sister yelling into the phone. \u201cI said, \u2018No, no, it\u2019s not true.’\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

George Ennin was a single father of two girls. ennin.george.2025<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was hard to believe,\u201d Brentuo said. \u201cMy mother called me, she said, \u2018I\u2019m dying here, I\u2019m dying here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Brentuo said her brother was an \u201cinnocent soul\u201d and a Christian who came to the US from Ghana to\u00a0have a better life. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a good father, a single father, a single parent, raising his two girls,\u201d she said. \u201cHe loved them very much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The heart-broken daughter of a security guard fatally stabbed by a deranged career-criminal in the Bronx wept as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[44703,57,238,9,56,63,65,64,2442,129,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-96046","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-ghana","9":"tag-metro","10":"tag-murders","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-ny","13":"tag-nyc","14":"tag-nyc-headlines","15":"tag-nyc-news","16":"tag-stabbings","17":"tag-the-bronx","18":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
