Christian leader arrested after pregnant British newly-wed found dead in bathtub in hotel

 

A pregnant British pastor was found dead in a hotel bathroom in Ghana - and now her London-based Christian leader husband has reportedly been arrested for murder.

Charmaine Adusah, 41, and her husband Eric Isaiah Adusah, 28, the head pastor at the Tottenham, north London, branch of Global Light Revival Ministries, had attended a church programme in the west African nation's city of Koforidua.


Adusah stayed at a guest house, while his wife stayed with host pastor, Bishop Yaw Adu. After the religious event, the couple decided to enjoy some time together before returning to the UK.

Daily Guide Ghana reported the couple had a disagreement about how long they should stay in Ghana - Mrs Speirs wanted to spend a month there, while her husband argued that was far too long.
The couple checked into the Royal Mac Dic Hotel on Monday March 16 for five days, according to police.

The next day, Adusah claimed he had other engagements back in the UK and left the hotel at the dawn.

He reportedly told the front desk that his wife, originally from Arbroath in Scotland, did not want to be disturbed and staff should only respond to her if she requested something.

After three days hotel staff became worried and used a spare key to get in the room.

There they found the three months pregnant woman, allegedly in the bathtub, and was described as "lying prostrate with a white towel wrapped around her, almost in a decomposed state," according to the paper.
