That is Leycesteria formosa aka Phesant berry or hymalayan honeysuckle, nice shrub and the berries are good eating for the birds, can grow to 8 feet . (I imagine a bird pooped the seed in your garden)

If the ones in my garden are typical you may not need to.
They seed prolifically - so much so that I now just pull them up and toss them in the compost. Might be worth while looking for some small ones come spring and potting them up/transplanting them.

Its a lovely plant and the birds love them, They will grow from a bit of stick stuck in the ground! As was already suggested, cut them down over the winter and let them re-sprout.
