This doctor, named Gerhardt Konig who thought it would be a great idea to try and kill his wife by shoving her off a cliff in Hawaii. Like, what the actual heck?
I mean, I get it, relationships can be tough sometimes, but trying to murder your spouse? That’s on a whole other level of messed up. Thankfully, he is now facing some serious charges. Like, seriously, who even thinks they can get away with something like that?
I can’t even imagine what was going through his head. Did he think he could just push his wife off a cliff and skip off into the sunset? Maybe he watched too many crime shows or something.
Gerhardt Konig — a 46-year-old anesthesiologist who works on Maui — is accused of trying to murder his wife Arielle last month during a scenic stroll on Oahu.
He was charged Wednesday with second-degree attempted murder — prosecutors say he attacked his wife at the famous Pali Lookout — and on Thursday she filed for court-ordered protection.
Arielle claims Gerhardt was prone to “extreme jealousy,” accused her of having an extramarital affair in December and was “attempting to control and monitor” all of her communications … according to the restraining order, obtained by TMZ.
She says they married in 2018 and have two children … but were going to couples therapy and counseling in an effort to salvage their marriage. She said they traveled from their home on Maui to Oahu for her 36th birthday and that’s when he allegedly attacked her.
She says it’s unclear what was in the syringes but in the docs, she notes her husband has access to “potentially lethal medications as part of his employment.”
So, the moral of the story is this – if you have problems in your relationship, I don’t care how bad it gets, don’t even think about resorting to violence. Talk it out, go to therapy, do whatever you have to do, but don’t be like Gerhardt Konig and do something insane. It’s just not worth it, man.
