New BBC documentary uncovers fresh allegations in 2015 death of Scottish woman married to Ghanaian prophet

A new BBC documentary has brought to light fresh allegations concerning the 2015 death of Charmain Speirs, a Scottish woman married to Ghanaian prophet Eric Adusah. Charmain, 41, was found dead in her hotel bathroom in Ghana. The documentary, released on April 12, 2026, reveals new findings about Adusah's background, including claims that he has used multiple identities, known as Eric Adu Brefo in Ghana and Eric Isaiah Kusi Boateng in Maryland, United States. Former partners of Adusah also allege he used different names and ages, with one, Lynne, describing an emotionally abusive relationship where she knew him only as “Daniel.” Charmain’s 19-year-old son, Isaac, accused Adusah of physical abuse towards both him and his mother, recounting an incident where Adusah allegedly punched his mother. Isaac also claimed Adusah psychologically controlled his mother's life, dictating her phone use, money, clothes, and eating habits. Charmain’s mother, Linda, reported seeing bald patches on her daughter's scalp, which Charmain attributed to Adusah pulling her hair. The documentary also questions Adusah's alibi to police, where he claimed he left his wife to meet a reverend, an account the reverend reportedly did not confirm. Charmain’s family is now calling for authorities to reopen investigations into her death.
