Barry Berwick[1][2] is an English murderer who is in prison in Minsk, Belarus for stabbing and killing his wife whilst on holiday in that country. At the beginning of "The Great Game", Sherlock Holmes travels to Minsk in order for Berwick to plead his case to him.
Berwick tells Sherlock that his wife and he left the hotel to go to a bar, where he got chatting with one of the waitresses, something which his wife Karen wasn't happy with. When they got back to the hotel they had a fight (referred to as a ding dong). Berwick says that Karen was always getting at him, saying he wasn't a real man. Berwick claims he doesn't know how it happened but he suddenly found a knife in his hand which he then used to repeatedly stab his wife.
During the course of the their chat, Sherlock keeps correcting the grammar Berwick uses to tell the story, which really angers the prisoner. He is doing this in order to test if Berwick is prone to anger, which he shows he is. Sherlock doesn't take the case, dismissing it later as murder.
