Police release photo of jailed man who threatened child in Portsmouth cemetery and exposed himself in Southampton

Sri Lankan man Sukirthan Thangrasha, 38 from Highfield Lane in Southampton, was jailed after being found guilty of indecent exposure.

He also pleaded guilty to two charges of common assault, plus one count of using threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour when he shouted at a child in Kingston Cemetery in Portsmouth on September 15 last year.

Thangrasha, a foreign national who says he is originally from Sri Lanka, assaulted a 25-year-old man on Friday, August 15 last year at the premises in which he was staying on Highfield Lane in Southampton. The man was not seriously hurt.

Thangrasha then indecently exposed himself to people inside the building, say police.

Now, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary has released this custody photo of the 38-year-old, who has now been sentenced at Portsmouth Crown Court.

As previously reported by The News, Thangrasha was sentenced to a combined total of 16 months in prison for his crimes.
