Domestic Violence

Arielle Konig testified that during an Oahu cliff hike her husband, anesthesiologist Gerhardt Konig, allegedly forced her toward the edge while saying "I'm so f------ sick of this s---," she knocked away a syringe he was holding, threw herself to the ground and clung to vegetation as he struck her head with a rock up to 10 times until two passing hikers intervened and a 911 caller said, "There's a man trying to kill her." Gerhardt fled the scene, was arrested later after a manhunt and remains in custody; his attorney calls the episode an unplanned scuffle tied to an emotional affair and says Arielle struck first (which she disputes), and Arielle filed for divorce in May 2025 seeking sole custody.
