Dr. Gerhardt Konig, a Maui anesthesiologist, was accused of attempting to kill his wife while hiking in Hawaii. During the attack on Pali Puka Trail, Dr. Konig allegedly pushed his wife into bushes, hit her on the head with a rock, and tried to use syringes on her. The attack only stopped when fellow hikers stumbled upon the scene. Arielle Konig, the victim, informed the police that Dr. Konig had been standing close to the edge of the trail and asked her to take a selfie with him before the incident escalated. She managed to get the syringes away from him before help arrived. Dr. Konig fled but was caught after a brief foot chase. He was arrested and his bail was set at $5 million. A preliminary hearing for the attempted murder charge was scheduled for the following Monday. Dr. Konig’s lawyer could not be reached for comment. The details of the attack were outlined in court documents supporting Dr. Konig’s arrest. The victim, Arielle Konig, reported the incident to the police and law enforcement officials were able to apprehend Dr. Konig shortly after the attack. The case is ongoing and further developments are expected to occur as it progresses through the legal system.
