The BBC said it has uncovered fresh allegations surrounding the incident, which were disclosed in a new documentary.

The report alleges that the preacher has used multiple identities.

In Ghana, he is said to be known as Eric Adu Brefo, while in the US, he is known as Eric Isaiah Kusi Boateng.

The BBC further reported that some of Adusah's former partners claim he used different names and ages in various relationships.

One former partner, identified as Lynne, described what she called an emotionally abusive relationship, stating she knew him only as "Daniel" until another woman contacted her.

Police records state that Adusah was the last known person to see Charmain alive.

In police statements, seen by the BBC, he described going out for lunch with Charmain before visiting the pool with her.

He said they then returned to their hotel room for the evening and had "a nice time together".

Adusah said he left the hotel after midnight to travel to Accra for a 6 am meeting before a scheduled flight back to the UK.

He claimed Charmain wanted to stay longer in Ghana.

A witness who was working at the hotel that night says the Prophet's account leaves out a crucial detail. Two tall men arrived with Adusah and went with him to room 112, where Charmain was staying.

The men stayed for up to an hour, and afterwards they helped Adusah load bags into his car.

About 1 am, Adusah left the hotel, telling the staff not to disturb his wife. He also never mentioned these visitors to the Ghanaian detectives.
