A prominent doctor believed that his wife of nuclear engineer had an affair in the months before he reportedly tried to kill her by pushing her from a Hawaiian walking path.
Gerhardt Konig, 46, is accused of attacking his six -year -old wife, Arielle Konig, 36, in a brutal way, on top of the picturesque Pali -looked up in Oahu last week and left her in a serious state with 'multiple cracks on her face and neck' and a broken thumb.
While she continued to recover in the Queen's Medical Center with her mother by her side, Arielle submitted a destructively limiting order against her husband on Thursday.
It says that Gerhardt, a reputable anesthesiologist, accused her of cheating him in December, and since then he had become susceptible to 'extreme jealousy' and even 'tried to control and control all my communication', the Pittsburgh post-gazette.
They tried to arrange their differences during the therapy of the couple, says the petition, and things looked up when Gerhardt planned a weekend away to Oahu for the 36th birthday of Arielle.
After his arrest, Arielle said that she heard that her husband had called one of his adult children from an earlier marriage in Facetime.
He was reportedly covered with blood and said to his son: “I just tried to kill Ari, but she got away”, according to the petition.

Gerhardt was apparently very jealous of his wife in the months before the attack
Arielle's petition was eventually granted on Friday, forbids Gerhardt to have contact with his wife or their children and to enter their Maui house.
It came when the doctor was officially sued for second -degree attempted murder attacks, Hawaii News reports now.
He is now being held in the OAHU Community Correctional Center in Honolulu without a bail and is back in court on Monday, while Arielle “concentrates on her recovery at home in Maui with the support of her family,” said her lawyer.
Many who knew the couple were shocked by the news of the arrest of Gerhardt.
“I just didn't see this,” Christina Ferguson, 53, who has worked as a cleaner for the past six months before the couple, at DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
“Nobody saw this coming. People say things like: “She probably had an affair, or she was cheating”, but she is not at all.
'She is the friendliest, most caring, patient, generous, loving person. I mean, every perfect feature that you could think of for a person, and that is she, “said the cleaner.
“She worked from home, so she didn't ran around. And they just came back from a family vacation, just last month. '

Ferguson described the doctor as 'nice and nice'.
“Usually he was quiet when he got home because he would usually be working when I was there,” Ferguson said. “But the few times he was there, he was quiet, polite and wore a conversation.”
She added: 'The way they talked to each other was admirable. They were loving and so this just came out of nowhere.
'Usually, especially here in Hawaii, where domestic violence is very common, you can see the signs – there is control behavior and whatever.
“There was nothing of that here.”
However, Arielle's petition for a temporary house ban tells a different story – because she claims that she is afraid of herself, their children and their dog if Gerhardt would be released on bail.
She described how she and her husband arrived on the island on March 23, while their children stayed with family members in their $ 1.5 million house in Kahului on the island of Maui.
The next day Arielle says that her husband suggested that she is walking a trail near Pali Lookout, which she described as 'narrow ridge sections with steep drop-offs on both sides'.
At one point during the walk Arielle said that she became 'uncomfortable' and said she did not want to go further. Instead, she decided to climb a tree nearby so that her husband could take a picture of her – but he suggested that they would take a selfie near the edge of the cliff instead.
Arielle said that when she asked her husband to leave the edge 'because I felt dizzy', and he obliged.
But when she approached the doctor, “he grabbed me by my upper arms and started pushing me back to the edge of the cliff.”
At the same time, “he shouted something with the effect of 'go back there, I am so tired of you,” wrote Arielle.
She said she thought he was joking first and then he soon realized that he was seriously trying to drop me off. '
Arielle said that she quickly threw herself on the floor of the edge, but her husband climbed her.
Arielle desperately said that she begged him to think about their two young children aged 2 and 5 years.

Yet they continued to struggle – and at one point Arielle said that Gerhardt took his bag and pulled a syringe, with which he tried to inject her.
“I don't know what was in the syringe, but Gerhardt is an anesthesiologist and has access to various potential fatalities as part of his employment,” Arielle noted in her petition for a restrictive order.
Dend to her feet, Arielle said she grabbed the syringe and threw it when her husband combed through his bag for what she thought was another syringe, Triblive reports.
But before he could grab it, Arielle said she bit his forearm.
That seemed to calm him down 'but then grabbed a rock in the neighborhood and started to bash with it repeatedly.'
He also grabbed her by the hair and hit her face in the ground, she claims.
Fortunately, two women away heard the path Arielle screaming for help.
They then ran ahead and the police told them that she saw a man who hit a woman with a rock, while the woman shouted, “He is trying to kill me.”
The women then warned Gerhardt that they called 911, at what point he fled the stage, while the women helped Arielle through the path, where First Responders brought her to a local hospital in critical condition.
Despite her condition, she was able to tell the police that her husband had attacked her and he was arrested after a six -hour man hunt.
