US Doctor Who Tried To Throw Wife Off Cliff For Not Clicking Pic With Him Arrested

Arielle Konig was taken to a hospital in critical condition with several facial and head injuries.

A US doctor was taken into custody after he allegedly struck his wife in the head with a rock and tried to push her off a hiking route after she refused to take a picture with him, Hawaiian authorities said.

Gerhardt Konig, a 46-year-old Maui anaesthesiologist, has been charged with the attempted murder of his wife, Arielle Konig. The couple was on vacation in Oahu when Mr Konig allegedly pushed his 36-year-old wife down a hiking trail near the Pali Lookout.

According to reports, the Nuuanu Pali Lookout provides sweeping views of the Koolau cliffs and Windward Coast from its location more than a thousand feet above the Oahu coastline.

Law enforcement sources told Hawaii News Now that Mr Konig snapped because his wife refused to take a photo with him.
