'My brother pointed out rude error on my Shein top and I can't un-see it'
A woman was delighted after purchasing a new top from Shein because she 'loved the print', and was showing it off when her brother spotted something rude on her new shirt A woman hilariously shared that she'd bought a Shein top she really liked and posted a video of her new find online - only for her brother to point out a rather inappropriate detail. The discovery left her wondering whether she should send the garment back, and she issued a warning to others considering making the purchase. "What the f**king f**k," she started the video by saying, asking in the caption: " How did I not see it?" Charmain, who posts on TikTok as @chazpants, shared that she'd bought the floral print top and was delighted after she ordered it and found it fit nicely. However, it wasn't long before her bubble was burst. "I think this is something that could only happen to me," she joked. Charmain explained that as part of a day-in-the-life video she had filmed, she did a Shein haul, saying that she "loved the print" on the top she had bought until her brother pointed something out to her. "I don't often like stuff with prints on, so for me to find something that had a print on I was like f**k yeah. Anyway, this morning, I woke up and I was just looking through my comments, and I saw this from my brother," she shared. He'd left a comment that read: "Hmm, have you noticed the weird pattern on your new Shein clothing?!" She then admitted that she was left baffled by what he meant, so she had to take another look at the garment to see what he was referring to. Charmain then put both hands over her mouth in shock and blinked slowly at the camera to express how horrified she was that she hadn't noticed this pattern before others had. "How did I miss this? Look at it," she questioned, showing the top on screen - and it was a sight to behold. She said: "There's a massive f**king c**k and b***s on it," before proceeding to detail her disappointment in a sweary rant. She even said she might have to buy fabric markers to cover up the error. Others thanked Charmain for pointing out that this top had something a bit rude on it, writing: "I'm so glad I didn't press buy, it was for my holiday lol thankyou haha you're amazing". "Took me a while to notice it, but once you see it, you can't unsee it," somebody joked. A TikToker pointed out that they saw something totally different, writing: "Is anyone else seeing Squidward's face from Spongebob instead of the c**k and b***s?" Another shared their Shein fail, writing: "I bought a Xmas cardigan from Shein and when I did it up I had a Father Christmas face on each boob". Shein has been contacted for comment.

Mum of pregnant Scot found dead in Ghana hotel bath demands fresh murder probe
Charmain Speirs, from Arbroath, was found dead in the bathroom of her hotel room in the city of Koforidua in Ghana in 2015 - months after marrying a Christian preacher. A woman whose pregnant daughter was found dead in mysterious circumstances in an African hotel has called for a fresh murder probe. Charmain Speirs was found lifeless in the bathroom of her room in the city of Koforidua, Ghana, in 2015. Her Christian preacher husband Eric Asaiah Adusah, who had also been staying at the Mac-Dic Royal Plaza Hotel, was charged with her murder but the case later collapsed. Charmain's mum Linda is now calling on new political leaders in Ghana to order a reinvestigation to finally find the truth of what happened to the mum of one. Linda, who has been poring over paperwork linked to her daughter's death 10 years on, told the Record: 'There are still so many unanswered questions over Charmain's death. 'I need to get justice for my daughter and for her son for what happened to his mum. 'Charmain had no voice in Ghana when this happened. 'It's 10 years down the line and it plays on my mind every day. I need answers.' Charmain, from Arbroath, met Adusah, a leader with Global Light Revival Ministries Church, in 2014 and married him a short time later. Linda, 71, was stunned when her daughter contacted her to say she was getting married – because she hadn't told her she had a boyfriend. Charmain told Linda her fiance was 'famous' for preaching around the world and appeared on TV. Linda says she still doesn't know how Charmain became involved with the church but believes she was 'brainwashed' in the months before her death. She said: 'She wasn't the Charmaine we knew. She was taken away from all her friends. She was so isolated. Luckily, she still called me three times a day. She said the church terrified her.' It was after Charmain, who was pregnant with Adusah's baby, travelled to Ghana for church business with her new husband that tragedy struck. Her decomposing body was discovered by hotel staff. She was just 41 at the time of her death. Her husband told police he had left for the UK two days earlier. Former NHS worker Charmain, who was three months pregnant and had an eight-year-old son from a previous relationship, was found to have quantities of heroin, codeine and morphine in her system – but no evidence was found of how it got there. An interim autopsy report indicated a heroin overdose as a cause of death. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

But Charmain's family insisted she would never knowingly take drugs. Adusah was charged with Charmain's murder in Ghana but the case was thrown out due to lack of evidence after a missing autopsy report caused delays. Charmain's body had remained in Ghana while the case against her husband was ongoing. It was not returned to the UK until months later, when a second post-mortem examination was conducted. The doctor who carried it out told an inquest in August 2016 there was no evidence of assault or prolonged drug use but she could not ascertain a cause of death. The attorney general in Ghana claimed there was no evidence connecting the pastor to his wife's death. A detective chief inspector from Essex Police also stated there was no drug paraphernalia found at the scene or signs of how it was administered, saying there was 'insufficient evidence' to link Abdusah to the death. Senior Coroner for Essex Caroline Beasley-Muarry dismissed verdicts of unlawful killing, suicide or an accident due to lack of evidence, recording an open verdict. But Linda believes the case was not investigated properly in Ghana. She still has questions over the timeline of events surrounding Charmain's death after reading differing witness accounts and wants to know why the case wasn't escalated to a higher court. Linda said she has since been contacted by other sources linked to the case who she feels authorities should also speak to. The mum has compiled a dossier of information. Linda said: 'It's been 10 years since I read these papers but when I went back over them all, none of it adds up. My daughter loved life. 'Charmain was well loved in Arbroath and everyone said the same thing – she would never take drugs. She went out there healthy and came back in a coffin. 'There was only ever one photo of my daughter's body, printed out on a piece of paper. 'When Charmain died, I tried to get a lawyer in Ghana and they wanted £11,000 up front. The embassy gave me contact numbers but none of them could understand me or wanted cash up front. 'This has been eating away at me all this time.' Ghana elected a new president, John Dramani Mahama, at the end of last year. Mahama has vowed to tackle corruption and last month reaffirmed his government's commitment to solving high profile unresolved murder cases, asking state investigative bodies to expedite some prosecutions. Linda, assisted by one of Charmain's close friends, has now contacted minister for foreign affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to alert the government to her case. She has had no contact with Adusah since he visited Dundee to discuss the return of his wife's body to the UK. The widower now goes by the name Eric Asaiah Kusi Boeteng and runs Eric Isaiah Ministries, based in Maryland in the US. He still has an active missionary business registered in the UK, which he founded with his new wife, and has visited London and Dublin in recent days for Easter events. Linda said: 'He has never approached us to say he would try to find out what happened to Charmain or how the drugs got into her body. Nothing adds up but he's just walked away from it all.' When the Record approached Kusi Boeteng for comment, he said he would fully assist any reinvestigation. He said: 'It was a very sad case and it affected me (until) now by losing my wife and child at the same time. 'I want to work with her (Linda) in peace if she'd like.'
