The prosecution submitted that it had proved its case through oral, documentary and scientific evidence and had proved the chain of events from the time the victim went missing to when her dead body was found in the dried pond.
The public prosecutor submitted that the accused took advantage of his familiarity with the victim and the mental state of her mother, to sexually assault and murder her.
“The accused had gone to the extreme level of murdering an innocent girl for his sexual pleasures and acted in a cruel manner by injuring the sexual organ of the girl, besides causing other injuries,” the PP had argued.
It was stated that the trial court had clearly explained the aggravating circumstances which were considered while imposing the death penalty.
