Man charged in killing of ex-wife’s spouse

A Richmond man was in police custody Thursday, accused of injuring his ex-wife and killing her husband in their League City home.

Sayantan Ghose, 41, has been charged with murder in the late Wednesday shootings.

League City Police found 43-year-old Clarence Wayne Harris dead in the driveway in front of his house in the 700 block of Mayhill Ridge, according to a probable cause affidavit. Harris suffered from seven bullet wounds.

Harris’ wife, 36-year-old Amanda Harris, was taken to an area hospital. She suffered from two gunshot wounds, the affidavit said.

Amanda Harris called police shortly before 9 p.m., according to the affidavit. She told police that she was going to make a citizen arrest because her ex-husband, Ghose, was at her doorstep.

She also disclosed to police that Ghose had been stalking her for years. She and her husband apparently both had weapons on them.

The police officer on the line heard her scream, “Get away from my gun!” and then additional screams and yelling in the background.

Shots also began to fire off in the background. Ghose had already left the home by the time police arrived, according to a news release from League City Police Department.

At the hospital, Amanda Harris was interviewed by a detective. She explained that when she parked in her driveway, she noticed Ghose standing on her doorstep, the affidavit said.

Before the gunfire, Ghose apparently was arguing with the woman’s current husband in front of the house.

A bail of $150,000 has been set for Ghose, police said.
