Charmain 'was on a mission' to find out who her prophet husband was. Then she died.

To those who loved Charmain Speirs, truthful overmuch astir her decease doesn't marque immoderate sense.

After a whirlwind romance and quickfire wedding, she was mysteriously recovered dormant successful a edifice bathtub successful Ghana six months later.

Her Ghanaian husband, Eric Adusah, the caput pastor of a Pentecostal church, was charged with her execution earlier being released owed to deficiency of evidence.

The prophet, arsenic helium is known by his followers who judge helium shares divine revelation straight from God, has denied immoderate engagement successful his wife's death.

Last month, a BBC Disclosure documentary raised superior questions astir Adusah's accout of the nighttime his Scottish woman was past seen alive.

Friends and household told the BBC they were puzzled astir wherefore Charmain had near her seven-year-old lad with members of her husband's religion portion she went to Ghana alone.

She says Charmain was "on a mission" to find retired who her hubby truly was.

Elma, a devout Christian who is present successful her 80s, had been Eric Adusah's "Scottish mum" aft they met successful Edinburgh successful 2012.

But she thinks the prophet utilized her and Charmain for his ain gain.

Elma archetypal encountered the prophet successful a Christian bookshop successful the Scottish superior and recalls that helium seemed "very charming and casual to speech to".

The brace exchanged numbers and Elma told him to telephone if helium ever needed help.

Several weeks later, helium called and earlier agelong helium was staying with Elma and her precocious hubby George whenever helium was successful Scotland.

The prophet was based successful London but his Global Light Revival religion already had branches successful Manchester and Dublin.

Elma helped him enlistee Christians to found the Edinburgh subdivision and helium would enactment astatine her location astir erstwhile a period erstwhile helium came to big services.

Elma was fond of him and helium was a root of enactment erstwhile she recovered she had cancer.

But she was little impressed by what she saw aft helium got unneurotic with Charmain.

"There seemed to beryllium a batch of urgency to get married," she says.

"What struck maine was that they didn't impressment maine arsenic a romanticist couple.

"It was much similar she was an acquisition alternatively than a beloved romanticist partner, much similar a signifier prop than thing else."

Charmain, primitively from Arbroath, met the prophet done a Christian dating tract successful outpouring 2014 and aft a whirlwind romance they joined successful September that year.

She was 40 years aged and, aft a drawstring of breached relationships, yet thought she had recovered what was promised for her - a antheral of God.

Within months, Charmain was the woman of Eric Adusah, referred to arsenic the "first lady" by members of his church.

She was a personage successful the church, who appeared connected publicity posters alongside her husband.

But according to Elma, and others the BBC has spoken to, each was not good down the scenes.

Charmain mislaid interaction with astir of her friends but Elma was capable to stay successful interaction - possibly due to the fact that she was adjacent to the prophet.

Elma says: "She, from clip to time, would telephone maine oregon permission maine a substance and she would beryllium rather distressed, angry, emotional, resentful.

"She had small oregon nary other wealth astatine all. She was babelike connected enactment from Eric."

Elma says Charmain told her that her hubby insulted the mode she looked and controlled what she wore.

Other witnesses person told the BBC they saw signs Charmain was being coercively controlled aft her matrimony and her lad claimed she was physically abused.

Another person who managed to enactment successful interaction with Charmain, Anne-Marie Bond, visited the couple's location successful Essex.

She says: "She sat maine down and she told me, 'I person got to archer you something. He is not who helium says helium is'."

Anne-Marie says Charmain told her helium had antithetic identities and different women.

The BBC spoke to 2 women who had been successful relationships with Eric Adusah and claimed they had been emotionally abused by him.

We besides learned that different woman, who was successful a narration with him, contacted Charmain to effort to pass her.

Anne-Marie says Charmain was readying "an exit strategy" but was inactive trying to judge that her "prophet" was the antheral that God had chosen for her.

"She inactive had that small spot of religion successful her, that small content that this was perchance the antheral that she's expected to beryllium with - due to the fact that of God," Anne-Marie says.

Exactly wherefore Charmain went to Ghana erstwhile she appeared to beryllium readying to extremity the matrimony has ever been unclear.

Elma thinks she was trying to find retired much astir her husband's past.

"She was adamant, she wanted to find retired much astir him and she wanted to conscionable his background," Elma says.

"And I took that to beryllium his family.

"She was precise resentful astatine the end, and she was aggravated capable to spell connected what I accidental was a spot of a ngo to find retired what it was truly each about."

Elma says that Charmain felt powerfully capable to permission her lad down and alert to Ghana to effort to "get to the basal of things".

Elma and Anne-Marie did not talk to Charmain portion she was successful Ghana but a person from the Global Light Revival church, who we are not naming to support her identity, claims to person been successful regular telephone interaction portion she was successful the westbound African country.

In a connection fixed to British constabulary a period aft Charmain was recovered dead, the witnesser claims Charmain had discovered her hubby went by different sanction and that helium was overmuch older than helium had claimed.

According to the witness, Charmain besides claimed to person recovered retired that Eric Adusah had different woman successful Ghana.

The witnesser says Charmain told her connected 16 March she was going to cheque into a edifice with the prophet, who was by present besides successful the country, and face him astir everything.

She says she received a telephone telephone aboriginal that evening from Charmain's fig and could perceive the mates successful the background.

She says Eric Adusah was shouting and it sounded similar helium was banging a array arsenic helium spoke.

Then the telephone ended suddenly.

This was the time earlier Charmain was past seen alive.

On 20 March 2015, Charmain's assemblage was recovered successful a bathtub successful the edifice wherever she spent clip with her husband.

More than a decennary on, a BBC Disclosure probe uncovered omissions from the prophet's relationship of what happened astatine the edifice wherever Charmain died.

He told constabulary helium near the edifice aft midnight to question to Accra for a 06:00 gathering with a reverend earlier a scheduled formation backmost to the UK.

The BBC recovered that the antheral helium claimed helium was gathering did not corroborate his story.

He besides did not notation that 3 men had visited their edifice country that night, 1 holding a briefcase, and spent an hr determination earlier they helped the prophet load bags into his car.

Two of the men were aboriginal traced and said they were successful the country praying.

Eric Adusah, who present lives successful the USA and goes by the sanction Eric Isaiah Kusi Boateng, did not reply the BBC's questions astir alleged home maltreatment and coercive and controlling behaviour.

It has been implicit 10 years since Charmain died.

Her friends, similar Elma and Anne-Marie, are inactive reckoning with what happened, replaying those last moments they spent with Charmain.

"I conscionable privation I did much though," says Anne-Marie.

"Obviously she's a grown woman. I can't archer idiosyncratic what to do. I privation I did bash more."

For Elma, Charmain's decease has caused her to analyse the powerfulness she claims the prophet held implicit them both.

"We've some been conned, utile idiots, which is not a precise bully mode to enactment it, but we've been used," says Elma.

"Charmain was used; she was a commodity."
