Japanese war criminal Taiji Ohno details acts of cannibalism. |
Taiji Ohno confessed in a written statement that in August 1935, he captured scores of Chinese civilians around Hengdaohezi county in Heilongjiang Province, including 20 who were kept at its police station.
He said, "We tortured them through beatings, bloating them with water, binding and hangings. Two of them were charged with harboring anti-Japanese attitudes, and were killed by Ishida, who cooked their heads and said the brains would be sent to Harbin to be used as medicine. I ate one of them."
Ohno admitted that in February, 1939, he killed Zhao Yiman, who was a well-known female fighter during the war.
"I hit her bullet wounds with a whip, while interrogating her about the organization and its relations to the Communist Party. This went on for nearly two hours."
He also admitted to organizing a Baojia Self-defense Regiment, whose members were ordered to cut off the ears of soldiers from the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army from August 1936 to June 1937.
"The Baojia Self-defense Regiment killed 9 soldiers and staff from the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army in Echeng County. They cut off 8 of the soldiers' ears, while one was beheaded."
Ohno was arrested in 1950, in Shanxi Province.
In total, he admitted to killing 654 Chinese people in 35 separate incidents, burning down 47 households, raping 14 people and plundering 64,000 tons of grain.
