An anesthesiologist accused of trying to kill his wife on a popular Hawaii hiking trail previously accused her of having an affair, which led to “extreme jealousy,” according to a temporary restraining order petition filed by his wife. Gerhardt Konig, 46, is charged with attempted second-degree murder after the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney’s office said he bashed his wife’s head repeatedly with a rock and tried to inject her with syringes filled with unknown substances. His wife detailed in the petition last week that Konig tried to push her toward the cliff’s edge in Oahu where they were hiking. She stated, “When I got close to Gerhardt, Gerhardt grabbed me by my upper arms and started pushing me back towards the cliff edge. He was yelling something to the effect of, ‘Get back over there, l’m so f**king sick of you!’ and continued to push me. … If I had fallen off the cliff, I would have likely died.” Konig’s wife also wrote in the petition that Konig grabbed his bag and attempted to inject her with a syringe containing an unknown substance. During their struggle, she said, she tried to grab the syringe and throw it out of his reach, but he had a second vial in his hand and was searching for a second syringe in his bag. CNN is not naming Konig’s wife as she may be a victim of domestic violence.
