Dragging death

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A dragging death is a death caused by someone being dragged behind or underneath a moving vehicle, whether accidental or as a deliberate act of murder. If it is homicide, then it is also known as a dragging murder. The most famous example of a dragging murder is that of the black American James Byrd, Jr., who was dragged to death by three white men in Jasper, Texas in 1998. The case received extensive publicity around the world as a hate crime.
