Share this @internewscast.com

On the fourth day of a trial for attempted murder in Maui, jurors watched the intense body camera video that captured the scene following the reported assault. A woman, identified in court as Arielle Konig, was found covered in blood on a secluded trail. Witnesses recounted hearing her desperate cries, claiming her husband—a doctor—was attempting to kill her.

The video, presented in court on Wednesday, began with the 911 call made by two hikers who reported hearing Konig’s pleas for help on the Hawaiian trail.

Upon their arrival, officers encountered Konig emerging slowly from the trail, her face marked with blood. The hikers who discovered her remained by her side, assisting her as she carefully lowered herself onto the rocky ground, all the while encouraging her to stay conscious.

In a moment captured by the body cameras, a bystander pressed a bandage to Konig’s head while she leaned back against the rocks, appearing disoriented as she struggled to stay awake.

Honolulu Police Department Officer Kevin Chun testified that Konig seemed exhausted, short of breath and confused when he arrived and began assessing the situation.

Although jurors did not hear the audio from the footage, the video shows Konig attempting to communicate through hand gestures as blood continued to run down her face.

Prosecutors allege the encounter turned violent when her anesthesiologist husband, Gerhardt Konig, tried to force her off the trail before repeatedly hitting her in the head with a rock and attempting to inject her with a syringe.

Authorities say he fled the area after the hikers intervened and called for help.

In addition to the bodycam footage, jurors were shown photographs documenting the scene.

An evidence specialist testified that images captured what appeared to be blood on leaves, branches and the ground, along with key features of the area, including a side trail, a break in the vegetation described as a “hole in the bush” and a nearby cliff edge.

Investigators collected multiple pieces of evidence, including a rock believed to be linked to the attack, clothing and swabs from suspected blood stains. Another evidence specialist testified that he photographed Gerhardt Konig and collected a DNA sample from him more than a day after a point in the timeline raised by the defense.

Jurors also heard testimony about how police tracked down the suspect.

Officer Chauncey Nicola said he spotted Gerhardt Konig while driving in an unmarked van and noticed what appeared to be blood on his shirt, prompting a chase into a grassy area where a struggle followed.

Officer Riley Borges and other officers joined the pursuit after Konig ran from brush onto a roadway, ultimately helping restrain him when he resisted arrest.

Police testified that the arrest ended with officers taking him to the ground and using force to get him under control.

Lead investigator Asten Koki detailed the broader investigation, including the recovery of a blood-stained rock and a backpack containing personal items and a cellphone, as well as a second bag later recovered that allegedly contained medical supplies tied to the defendant.

Gerhardt Konig has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The trial is expected to resume Friday.
