420 - 6 Jan - Statement of Murata

About 22-23 June, at the Legal Section Staff Office, after lunch, D, a 1st Lt. in the WA Medical Corps, in a lowered voice, told Murata that he had, several days previously, witnessed a most terrible thing, an autopsy on a living human. He further related that injured prisoners were taken to KIU for treatment, put under ether, operated on and killed before regaining consciousness.
