Roy Bryant (husband of white woman Emmett flirted with) and his half brother John William Milam killed Emmett Till by: 1) Kidnapping him from his great uncle Mose Wright's house 2) Beat him in Milam's shed 3) Gouged out Emmett's eye in the shed 4) Shot him with a pistol 5) Tied a cotton gin fan to the dead boy with barbed wire and pitched him into the Tallahatchie. If this sounds gruesome, there is no other way to make it sound like a fairy tale.
Emmett Till was fourteen years old when he was dragged from his home and was beaten and shot to death. other tortures were inflicted upon him before he died....but many are still up to spectulation.
