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.
Arielle told the officer that Konig allegedly pulled out two syringes from his bag and attempted to “use them on her, but she was able to get them away from him,” according to the affidavit.

One of the hikers said she was hiking around 10:30 a.m. when she heard a woman screaming “Help! Help me!” repeatedly. The hiker ran to the area where she saw “a girl lying on her back in the grass with a man on top of her, hitting her on the head,” per the affidavit.
The hiker alleged that Konig had a rock in his hand, and when he saw her, he immediately stopped and got up, according to the affidavit.
The hiker recalled that Arielle allegedly stated, “He is trying to kill me. He is hitting me in the head with a rock.”
The hiker allegedly said her friend called 911 and Konig walked away and up the trail.
According to the affidavit, medical personnel transported Arielle to Queens Medical Center in serious but stable condition.
Konig was taken into custody later that day.
He is charged with second-degree attempted murder. His bail has been set at $5 million.
His attorney could not be reached for comment.
