A pastor posed as his dead wife to send her British parents a text suggesting she was still alive, it has been claimed.
Pregnant Charmain Speirs was found face down in a bathtub at the Mac Dic Royal Plaza Hotel in Koforidua, Ghana on March 20.
The 41-year-old's husband, Eric Isaiah Adusah, a self-proclaimed prophet and leader of Global Light Revival Ministries Church in London, was arrested for her murder.

Her mother Linda has now claimed that she received a text message, seemingly from 28-year-old Mr Adusah, on March 18 after he returned to Britain alone.
But police in Ghana believe that Ms Speirs was already dead when he sent the message as the state of her body suggested it had been lying for three to four days.
Linda said: 'I received a text saying "that's me back, mum," making out that it was from Charmain. It wasn't - it was from him. That was on the 18th.
'I texted back "Hi Charmain, is that you back in Britain? That's good". And all I got back was "No, it's Eric".
'I asked him where Charmain was. He said "she did not want to come home". He said that she wanted to stay extra days and that she hadn't gone to the airport to wave goodbye.'
Linda claims Mr Adusah then contacted her again by text saying he had received a call from Ghana that Charmain, who was three months pregnant, was in hospital and seriously ill.
But Linda claims Mr Adusah had already been notified that her body had been found when he sent the message to her.

'On Saturday night (March 21) he said he was trying to get a flight and that he would go to the hospital on Monday.
'I was asking him what was wrong with her and for the name of the hospital so I could phone them. He wouldn't tell me.'
Linda, 61, from Arbroath in Scotland, and her husband Peter had desperately tried to make contact with her after she travelled to Africa with Mr Adusah to attend a funeral.
She became so concerned about her daughter's welfare that she opened a missing person's case with the local police.
She said: 'March 8 was the last time Charmain contacted me and she normally calls me two or three times a week.
'I had been leaving messages and voicemails on her phone to get in touch and asking what's wrong.
'I knew something wasn't right.'
Linda, who claims she is being lied to about her daughter's death, spoke to police on March 22, before a missing person's case was opened.
The following morning they received a phone call from a bishop in Ghana who told them she was dead.
The family are frustrated by the lack of information coming to the family from Ghana and said the police investigating that case had not even contacted them.
Linda added: 'It's shocking that we as the parents are not being told anything.'
Mr Adusah's lawyer has claimed an autopsy found Charmain died from a heroin overdose which was 'very self-inflicted' but her family have refuted the suggestion.
