‘He is trying to kill me’, Woman screams as husband smashes her head with rock on Hawaii hiking trail

A doctor in Hawaii accused of attempting to murder his wife allegedly hit her on the head 10 times with a rock, grabbed the back of her hair and smashed her face to the ground before trying to inject her with syringes, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.

Arielle Konig, 36, told an officer she was on the Pali Puka Trail off the Pali Lookout in Oʻahu with her 46-year-old husband Gerhardt Konig on the morning of Monday, March 24, when he allegedly asked her to take a selfie with him.

“Arielle expressed that she did not feel comfortable taking a picture with him that close to the edge, so she declined and began to walk back,” per the affidavit.

Arielle alleged that Konig, an anesthesiologist in Maui, “yelled at her to come back, and when she refused, he pushed her into the bushes where they began to struggle,” according to the affidavit.

Arielle alleged that Konig then grabbed a rock and hit her in the head approximately 10 times “while also grabbing the back of her hair and smashing her face into the ground.”

“Arielle indicated that she was yelling for help and heard two other hikers; she was able to crawl over to them,” the affidavit states.
