Hawaii Doctor Held Without Bail for Alleged Attempted Murder of Wife During Hike

Gerhardt Konig, an anesthesiologist, faces charges of second-degree attempted murder after a violent attack on his wife, who has since filed a restraining order citing his controlling behavior.

Gerhardt Konig, 46, is accused of attacking his wife, Arielle Konig, 36, during a hike at Pali Lookout in Oahu, Hawaii, on March 24, 2025.
The alleged attack involved pushing Arielle, striking her with a rock, and attempting to inject her with syringes before two hikers intervened and called 911.
Arielle, hospitalized in critical condition with severe head and facial injuries, has since filed a restraining order citing her husband's extreme jealousy and controlling behavior.
Konig, arrested after a brief foot chase near Pali Highway, is being held without bail at the Oahu Community Correctional Center following a court order issued on March 28.
The anesthesiologist has been suspended from his medical position pending investigation, as legal proceedings and professional inquiries continue.
