Daughter of NYC dad randomly stabbed to death by career criminal speaks out: ‘I just keep crying’

The heart-broken daughter of a security guard fatally stabbed by a deranged career-criminal in the Bronx wept as she recalled her beloved father to The Post, saying, “He was the best dad.”

“I just keep crying,” Nana Yaa Fosua Ennin, whose dad George was killed as he walked to work this week in Mott Haven, said Saturday.

Father-of-two George Ennin, 53, was jumped and stabbed multiple times.

“It’s not fair to me,” the teary 18-year-old said. “I didn’t even get to touch him. I didn’t get to feel him and I just keep crying and I don’t even know what to do. I just wish I could at least hug him physically.”

She last spoke to her dad two days before he died, while she was away visiting her aunt in Maryland.

“It’s so sad to see him gone too soon,”  said the teen who recently graduated from high school and has a 17-year-old sister. “It was not his time to go at all and someone just cut his life short.”

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. 

Jones pleaded not guilty Friday night and is being held without bail.

The victim was the eldest of six children. One sister, Lucy Adusei, 42, said she was frustrated by New York’s lax criminal justice system and amazed that someone with Jones’ criminal history could be on the street.

“I think New York law is too lenient with people like this,” the psychiatric nurse said. 

“Sometimes people do it knowingly, they know exactly what they’re doing but they pretend that once the issue happens it’s a psychiatric issue,” she said. “I’m a psychiatric nurse. Sometimes they do these things on purpose.”

Her brother didn’t deserve to die and she wants justice, she told The Post.

“If it was up to me the death sentence would be good for him,” she said of the suspect, noting New York doesn’t have the death penalty.

“The ironic part of it is that even if it’s life imprisonment, you know what? I’m still gonna work and my taxes are going to feed him,” she said.

She’ll never be able to unsee the video of the fatal confrontation.

“The video is registered in my mind,” she said. “I cannot erase the video, it’s stuck in my memory. It will be there forever.”

Another sister, Regina Adusei Brenfaah, 46, had the unfortunate task of telling her mother and sisters about George’s death.

“I said, ‘No, it’s not George, it’s not George, he had no enemies!’” she recalled.

Sister Anatasia Brentuo, 52, remembered getting that call.

“‘Our brother is gone, he’s gone, somebody stabbed him, he’s dead!’” she recalled her sister yelling into the phone. “I said, ‘No, no, it’s not true.’”  

“This was hard to believe,” Brentuo said. “My mother called me, she said, ‘I’m dying here, I’m dying here.’”

Brentuo said her brother was an “innocent soul” and a Christian who came to the US from Ghana to have a better life.

“He was a good father, a single father, a single parent, raising his two girls,” she said. “He loved them very much.”
