Police in Ghana are being put under pressure to conclude their investigations into the death of a pregnant Tayside woman.
Charmain Adusah, formerly Speirs, was found dead in a hotel bathtub in Koforidua just over two months ago.
Her husband Eric, an evangelical preacher with the Global Light Revival Ministries, has been charged with the Arbroath woman’s murder.
At the case’s latest hearing in the nation’s capital Accra, prosecutors were told the case must be ready to proceed to trial at the next hearing on June 17.
Mr Adusah’s defence team pushed for the case to be struck as the defence team was not ready when the case called in front of Justice Marian Affoh on Thursday.
The country’s attorney general previously submitted a report to the court stating that police investigations so far have not provided enough evidence to prove Adusah murdered his wife.
He was granted bail a fortnight ago though has been told not to leave the country.
Charmain’s body was discovered by hotel workers on March 20 two days after her husband checked out of the Mac Dic Royal Plaza Hotel, allegedly telling reception staff that his wife did not want to be disturbed.
On the day Charmain, 41, was due to check out, workers used the room’s spare key and found her lifeless in the bath. Police think at that stage she had been dead for three or four days.
The couple had been in Ghana to attend the funeral of Mr Adusah’s father.
Press reports in Ghana claim an interim autopsy report shows Charmain, who was three months pregnant at the time of her death, died of a heroin overdose, though the full autopsy is yet to be completed.
Mrs Adusah’s parents, who live in Arbroath, are adamant that their daughter would never take drugs.
