Jessica McGraa
The husband of murdered Jessica,Nigerian sex worker,GARETH McGraa, 56, says he had no idea the mother-of-one was working as a call girl as he knew her as a devout Christian.
TRAGIC Jessica McGraa hid her double life as a £220-an-hour call girl from her oilman husband, he revealed last night.
Gareth McGraa, 56, believed Nigerian-born Jessica, 37, was making money to fund the high
life she loved by selling hair extensions.
As a man appeared in court charged with her murder in an Aberdeen flat, Gareth told of his grief at her death – and his hurt that she had deceived him.
The couple, who have a six-year-old son, split when the child was a year old .
After that, Gareth says, they had several reunions and he always hoped they would end up back together permanently.
That dream died along with the woman Gareth knew as a devout Christian and a doting mother.
Gareth, from Southport on Merseyside, said: “I honestly believed that she was making her money from hair extensions.
“She was a very pious girl – she dragged me to church even and that’s not easy.”
Jessica documented her life of luxury on her social media pages, showing off trips to the Italian Riviera, Hong Kong and New York along with designer clothes, shoes and handbags.
Yesterday, Bala Wadzani Chinda, 25, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court accused of murder and was remanded in custody.
It is understood Jessica only returned to Scotland’s oil capital from London a couple of weeks ago, having lived and worked there in the past.

“But she was also a pious person who believed in God. I knew what I was walking into but I really cared for the girl.
“To my mind, and hers, we were going to get back together at some point.
“Not just me, the two of us. I wanted it, she wanted it so why not? But I only ever got half the story. I thought I knew her and it hurts.”
Jessica used aliases including Ebony Bianca and Kelly West on escort sites.
She described herself as “classic, stylish, naughty, horny, sexy” and promised the “ultimate girlfriend experience”.
Meg Kirk, who met Jessica while working in the Lapisgold jewellers in Aberdeen’s Union Square shopping centre, said: “She was polite, lively and we laughed and we talked.
“She was selling some Brazilian hair extensions and I said I’d like to see them. She said I should call in to see her any time I was passing.”
Last night, Detective Superintendent David McLaren renewed an appeal for anyone who saw or spoke to Jessica in the days before her death to contact his officers.
Meanwhile,the suspect responsible for Jessica's death, is due in court today in Aberdeen as her troubled lifestyle was laid bare.
Jessica McGraa was found dead at a flat in the city’s Union Terrace on Friday.
It emerged today that the 36-year-old left her young son at her home in London to sell sex in the city on a two-day trip.
A close friend told the Scottish Sun: “I thought she was a dancer in clubs – I had no idea what was really going on. But it doesn’t change my opinion of her.
“Jessica was an amazing woman and if that’s how she chose to make a living then that was her choice.”
The mum charged up to £220-an-hour as she offered punters the “ultimate girlfriend experience” in cities across the UK.
The murdered Nigeria born sex worker Jessica also used aliases including ‘Ebony Bianca’ and ‘Kelly West’ on escorts sites such as Adult Work.
She described herself as “classic, stylish, naughty, horny, sexy” and took bookings from men, women and couples.
Topless photos on her profile page had her face blurred out.
She wrote: “My face is covered to protect myself as I’m ultra discreet.
“I have a regular job and a private life. Do be polite when you call.”
Her site also stated she made stops in Dundee, Edinburgh and Inverness.
Her body was found two days after she last logged on to Adult Work. Her page stated she was “currently on tour” in Aberdeen for two days.
On the flip side, Jessica’s own social media sites showed that she was a devoted mum describing her son as “the love of my life”.
And in one 2014 post, she wrote: “None of us will die unfulfilled.
“We all shall make a formidable impact in this world.”
Last night, a relative in London said they were too upset to talk about her death.
She said: “We know what has happened. You need to speak to the police. It is still very difficult for us.”
A 25-year-old man has been charged in connection with Jessica’s death.
He is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today.
