A pregnant Arbroath woman has been found dead at a hotel in Ghana and her preacher husband is being held on suspicion of her murder.
Charmain Adusah, 41, is reported to have been found face down in a bath in her hotel suite in Koforidua by concerned staff on March 20. She may have lain dead for as long as four days.
News reports from Ghana allege her 28-year-old husband Eric Isaiah Adusah hurriedly left the hotel on March 17, a day after the couple had checked in, after telling staff his wife did not like to be disturbed and she would call on them if required.
Family friends have claimed Adusah then flew back to Britain and only returned after his wife’s body was discovered.
Local reports said he was “invited” to return by police who suspected foul play.
The self-proclaimed prophet and evangelical preacher was “incarcerated” by the homicide unit at police HQ.
Sources there indicate he will be put on trial for murder if implicated in his wife’s death.
It is understood an autopsy is scheduled to be carried out as police seek to establish the full circumstances around her death.
Charmain Adusah, formerly Speirs, grew up in Arbroath, where her father Peter, 63, and mother Linda, 61, still live.
The family declined to comment when contacted at home on Sunday.
Eric Adusah is originally from Ghana. He and Charmain, a former NHSradiography assistant, were married last September.
Mrs Adusah had an eight-year-old son from a previous relationship in Wales and was said to have been three monthspregnant at the time of her death.
Adusah is the leader of the GlobalLight Revival Ministries church based in Tottenham, London. Preaching actively in Britain since 2010, he has led sermons at events across the UK and Ireland.
Mrs Adusah who was apparentlyconsidered the “First Lady” of herhusband’s ministry studied photo-journalism at Swansea University before working in the Welsh NHS.
Friends said she started followingAdusah’s church around two years ago and they began a relationship last year.
Mr and Mrs Adusah travelled to Ghana in early March to attend a churchprogramme in Koforidua. They had argued over the duration of their stay but decidedto spend time together as a couple at the Mac-Dic Royal Plaza Hotel, checking in for a five-day stay from March 16.
