Family battles to bring Charmain’s body home to Angus

The family of an Angus woman found dead in Ghana are fighting to have her body brought back to Scotland.

Former NHS receptionist Charmain Adusah from Arbroath was found in a Koforidua hotel bath by concerned staff on March 20.

Husband Eric Isaiah Adusah is being held on suspicion of murdering the 41-year-old, who was three months pregnant.

And Charmain’s family have been left waiting on confirmation that Adusah has approved repatriation, as next of kin.

Charmain may have lain dead for four days before her body was discovered.

News reports from Ghana allege 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 he then flew back to Britain and only returned after his wife’s body was discovered.

Mrs Adusah’s mother, who was too upset to speak to The Courier, posted tributes to her daughter on Facebook.

Linda, 61, posted a picture of an angel with a chick and a rabbit on her Facebook page.

It read: “Thinking of all our sweet angels who are spending Easter in Heaven.

“We love and remember you always.”

Linda also posted an image of a lit candle with the caption: “We light this candle in memory of our loved ones.

“We send our love and Easter wishes straight to Heaven.”

Charmain’s brother Peter Speirs said: “We are all devastated.

“The pastor is her next of kin and we have been told he is the only person who can release her body, even though he has been arrested for murder.

“We can’t even arrange a funeral.”

He said Charmain met the pastor after becoming a born-again Christian.

Adusah, 28, is the leader of the Global Light Revival Ministries church based in Tottenham, London.

He has led sermons he describes as “divine visitation” events across the UK and Ireland, receiving £1million in charitable donations.

The couple had travelled to Ghana so Adusah could preach at a religious conference hosted by controversial evangelist John Yaw Adu.

Local reports said Adusah left the following morning to fly back to London, telling the manager his pregnant wife was ill and did not want to be disturbed.

But staff became concerned they had not seen her and she was not responding to knocks on the door.
