SP (Puri) Anup Sahoo said Barik was the lone assailant and rape was the prime motive. He killed her to eliminate evidence against him.
"When the girl resisted Barik's advances, he first tried to strangulate her. He then inserted a rod in her private parts multiple times to ensure that she is dead," the SP said.

Barik watched her dying and left after he was sure that the victim was not alive to register a complaint against him. The girl had not grown properly for her age and was suffering from hormonal deficiency, police said.The girl's body was found in the casuarina forest along the Puri-Konark marine drive road on Thursday. Preliminary autopsy report has attributed the girl's death to excessive internal bleeding.
