Dr. Gerhardt Konig, who was wanted for attempted murder and was on the run, has been arrested. His wife, who remains in critical condition at the hospital, was on a morning hike with Konig near the Pali Lookout when she refused to take a picture with Konig. Konig then allegedly attempted to poke her with two syringes, pushed her off the trail, and hit her in the head with a rock.

What was in the syringes??

The police/news outlets have not specified this yet. However, he practiced anesthesiology, so he likely would have had access to a number of substances that could incapacitate someone. Having those syringes along for the journey could make it more difficult for his defense, as they could imply premeditation. MOO.

@Knitty On the off chance he was a "Forensic Files" fan, he might've chosen succinylcholine, which seems to appear in that show pretty frequently as the "drug of choice" for murderers with medical backgrounds (if I recall correctly, I think the drug is very commonly used in hospital settings, and has a short half-life which means it is hard to detect post-mortem and (at least in the past) wasn't a substance that most toxicology screens even looked for.
 
Succinylcholine?

@realanastasia Thx for your post & ref to Forensic Files episodes*

Yes, Succinylcholine, one possibility.

I Googled
---- imdb Forensic Files Succinylcholine ----
at least three episodes w sux. From there going to imdb.com, can likely stream any of them.

--- Succinylcholine criminal deaths ---
a lotta rabbit holes including medical journal articles. This one caught my attn.
"a special designed dart load with succinylcholine was ejected by crossbow for homicide." Yikes.

ATM I have not seen anything info re content of syringe. Seems early for test results.

Back to this victim in critical condition in the hospital.,
 
So this was not a remote hiking spot where he could be sure they were alone.

"Conveniently located just five miles from downtown Honolulu, the Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout is one of O'ahu’s top attractions. The drive up to the lookout is short yet scenic"

Nuuanu Pali Lookout | Oahu Hawaii

The Nuuanu Pali Lookout is one of the most scenic spots on Oahu and offers great views of the windward coast including Kailua and Kaneoha Bay. - Discover more about Nuuanu Pali Lookout on HawaiiGuide.

I wonder if there was a witness watching the whole thing, since the victim is in critical condition and, normally, someone in that state is unable to give details such as syringes, etc....

Also, he seems not to have left in his car, but by foot and was arrested in the area at sunset: "Around 6:45 p.m. Konig was arrested near Pali Highway following a brief foot pursuit."


So perhaps someone intervened: I hope she pulls through.
