His name is James Winter. He has a lot of aliases, but that doesn't help him one bit, since Sherlock isn't interested in names. It isn't the only way to find someone, after all.
Which Sherlock does, of course. He finds him twenty six hours (and two minutes and forty three seconds) after he'd found John Watson dismantled and crudely put together again.
(All the King's horses and all the King's men...)Sherlock also finds that he can do a lot with a set of kitchen knives and his own fingernails. For example, he manages to carve a sloppy Y-incision in James Winter's chest with a sharp bread knife and peel the folds of skin away with his fingers to expose his ribcage

Mycroft visits after John's funeral. The date had come and gone but Sherlock was too busy to attend. He had several cases running at once now - but not a one from Lestrade, since the man had started barring him from crime scenes, and he still hadn't figured out why.
It could have something to do with the manic glint in his eyes. Or it could have something to do with the fact that he had murdered a man and taken great pleasure in it.
Lestrade was wrong. There had been nothing pleasurable about it. Maybe Sherlock had thought that-- at the time--
But he was wrong.
(God, was it disgusting).
"John would be disappointed," Mycroft says. He says it as though Sherlock wasn't aware of that one simple fact, but it hardly mattered.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter it doesn't matter it doesn't-- god, why?!
"John is dead," Sherlock says, because it doesn't matter anymore! "A cadaver can't be disappointed with anything, least of all the shape of the box he's served up in
