In 1947, the British Colonial authorities in Singapore held a trial involving war crimes during the Japanese occupation. Through this, seven officers, Lieutenant General Takuma Nishimura, Lieutenant General Saburo Kawamura, Lieutenant Colonel Masayuki Oishi, Lieutenant Colonel Yoshitaka Yokata, Major Tomotatsu Jo, Major Satoru Onishi and Captain Haruji Hisamatsu were found guilty and were charged with carrying out the massacre. Kawamura and Oishi received the death penalty while the others received life sentences. However, during a subsequent trial Nishimura was convicted for his part in the Parit Sulong massacre by an Australian Military Court and hanged.
