An anesthesiologist accused of trying to kill his wife on a cliffside hike struck her so hard with a rock that pieces of it broke off in her scalp, a prosecutor told jurors before they began deliberating Tuesday.
Gerhardt Konig, 47, had a plan and backup plans for murdering his wife, Arielle Konig, during a weekend trip to Honolulu for her birthday in March 2025, deputy prosecutor Joel Garner said. He tried to push her off a cliff, and when that didn't work he tried to stab her with a syringe filled with an unknown substance.
