A church preacher is being held on suspicion of murdering his pregnant British wife in a hotel room in Ghana.
The body of Charmain Adusah, 41, was discovered by hotel staff face down in a bath where it is believed she had been lying for four days.
Her husband, Eric Isaiah Adusah, a self-proclaimed prophet and evangelical preacher, was alleged to have left the hotel hurriedly on the day she is believed to have died.
He told hotel managers at the time that his three-month pregnant wife was ill and did not want to be disturbed.
A close family friend claimed last night that Mr Adusah, 28, flew back to London but later returned to Ghana after his wife’s body was found by concerned hotel staff who used a spare key to check on her after she failed to answer the door.
Mr Adusah, originally from Ghana, is being held in police custody in the African country on suspicion of murdering the former NHS radiography assistant, whom he married suddenly last September – following a whirlwind romance – in a wedding which shocked her family and friends.
His wife, whose maiden name was Speirs, already had an eight-year-old son from a previous relationship in Wales.
But the boy has not yet been told the awful news and was staying with his father, a British man, last night.
Mr Adusah is the leader of Global Light Revival Ministries church based in Tottenham, north London and has been active as a preacher in Britain since 2010.
He has led sermons he describes as ‘divine visitation’ events across the UK and Ireland, receiving £1million in charitable donations in five years and giving sermons on religious satellite television channels.
A close family friend last night accused Mr Adusah of being a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’, telling The Mail on Sunday: ‘We think he brainwashed her.’
