A physician’s wife in Hawaii is fighting back after her husband allegedly tried to kill her.
Arielle Konig, 36, obtained a temporary restraining order against her spouse, Maui doctor Gerhardt Konig, following an alleged attempt on her life along a cliffside in Oahu.
According to her petition, which CrimeOnline accessed, Arielle detailed the attack, stating that her husband dragged her near the cliff’s edge, tried to inject her with “an unknown substance” using a syringe, and repeatedly struck her on the head with a rock.
She recounted that his anger escalated after she hesitated at his request for her to take a selfie by the cliff’s edge, as he told her, “Go back over there, I’m so f—ing sick of you.”
“I quickly realized he was seriously trying to make me fall off the cliff,” she wrote in the petition.
Also in the petition, Arielle alleged Gerhardt sexually abused her for months before the incident. She did not give a specific time frame for the alleged abuse but noted a significant change in their lives in December, and that he began accusing her of having an affair.
Arielle Konig secured a 180-day restraining order. The presiding judge ruled that there is probable cause to believe past acts of abuse have occurred or that threats of abuse suggest imminent acts by Gerhardt Konig.
The court also noted that Gerhardt either owns, intends to obtain, or possesses a firearm or electric gun (such as a stun gun or Taser), which could be used to threaten, injure, or abuse someone.
Meanwhile, police detained Gerhardt, who fled the scene following the attack, and charged him with attempted murder on the same day, People Magazine reports.
He remains behind bars on a $5 million bond. Check back for updates.
