Suspect in fatal stabbing of B’klyn woman in front of her twin sis is held without bail

The man accused of attacking twin sisters who rebuffed his advances in a Brooklyn bodega — fatally stabbing one of them in the neck — was ordered held without bail, prosecutors said Saturday.

Veo Kelly, 20, pleaded not guilty during a brief arraignment proceeding in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Friday, despite a mountain of surveillance footage and witness statements that show he attacked Samyia and Sanyia Spain outside the Natural Plus deli in Park Slope around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Kelly stabbed Samyia in the chest and neck. Medics took her to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Brooklyn Methodist, but she couldn’t be saved. Witnesses also saw him “swing a knife” at Sanyia “and cut the individual in the arm with the knife.”

Sanyia was taken to the same hospital in stable condition with a stab wound to the arm, cops said.

The Bedford-Stuyvesant resident surrendered with an attorney Friday morning, about two days after detectives executed a search warrant of his Hancock St. home, where they recovered the clothes he wore during the stabbing, cops said. Detectives charged Kelly with murder, assault and weapons possession.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Kelly had left a party hall down the street from the bodega when he met the twins during a chance encounter.

“He came from the hall drunk,” Kenny said. “They’re all in there after a night out ordering food. He was very aggressive to one of the girls, trying to get her contact information. When they didn’t take to his advances, it got verbal and it got physical.”

In an exclusive interview with The News last week, the surviving twin said she knew Kelly was trouble and was trying to get her sister away from him.

“I grabbed her phone and I was like, ‘Come with me, come with me,’ ” Sanyia recalled. “I was like, ‘Why are you talking to that boy?’ She said, ‘I don’t want to talk to that boy.’ ”

Danasha Goodson, sister to the twins, said Samyia “was bright-eyed and ready for the world” and had “hosted a game night for her and her friends” before they met Kelly, who was with another man.

“[She] lost her life to senseless violence, to the fragile male ego, because violence against women has been normalized and condoned,” Goodson wrote on a GoFundMe post asking for donations for her sister’s funeral expenses. “She had so much more to do in this world, so much more to offer. Samyia deserves to be here, she deserves to be celebrated.”

Within three days, friends raised $21,000 for funeral expenses “to create a beautiful memorial for Samyia.”
