Victorio Barayuga, 62, had been hospitalized since June 13. He was arrested at 4:30 p.m.
Police said he slashed his wrist in an apparent suicide attempt.
Barayuga's wife was repeatedly stabbed during a domestic dispute and her body was found in their Kalihi home.
An autopsy determined Liwliwa Barayuga, 63, died of a stab wound to the chest.
She was the fourth and most recent victim of domestic violence this year, according to the Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Other 2007 victims are Ingeborg Jandura of Canada, Marie Annette Mundon and 14-year-old Tyran Vesperas-Saniatan, who was killed while protecting his pregnant mother. Tyran's mother survived but the nine-month-old child she was carrying didn't.
