HONOLULU (Island News) — The son of the Maui doctor accused of trying to kill his wife near the Pali Lookout last March said his dad admitted to the crime on a FaceTime call on the day of the attempted murder.
In day six of testimonies, Emile Konig testified in the trial against his father Gerhardt Konig. Emile is Gerhardt’s biological son and the stepson of Arielle Konig. Prosecutors said his father FaceTimed him twice on the morning of March 24, 2025, the day Gerhardt is alleged to have tried to murder his wife Arielle.
A key moment in court as Emile Konig testified against his father, Gerhardt Konig, describing FaceTime calls in which he said his father confessed to trying to kill his wife, Arielle Konig. The testimony comes as prosecutors outline the timeline of events surrounding the alleged attack near Pali Lookout on March 24, 2025.
Gerhardt sat emotionless as his 19 year-old son took the witness stand. Prosecutors asked him when his father called on March 24, 2025, and according to court records, those calls happened at 10:42 a.m. and more than an hour later at 11:46 a.m.
When Emile was asked what his father told him during that first call:
“He would not be making it back to Maui and to take care of the younger kids that he had,” Emile said. “That Ari, my stepmom, had been cheating on him. And that he tried to kill her.”
Emile went on to say that during the second call, his father said he was going to jump off the cliff at the Pali and commit suicide. Gerhardt also asked if Emile had told anybody; his son replied yes, and told him Arielle’s parents and his biological mom.
Emile detailed in court that his father told him he was going to go before the police caught him while ending that second FaceTime with his son, who was on Maui when the calls took place.
