British influencer Brooke George murder case in Dubai

Overview

British TikTok influencer Brooke George was arrested in Dubai on 22 June 2026 and charged with pre‑meditated murder after stabbing her boyfriend, William Treeby. George says she acted in self‑defence, claiming Treeby attacked her with a kitchen knife and that she called her mother from a bar shortly before the incident. She alleges she was stripped in front of male officers and denied immediate access to a lawyer, translator and consular assistance. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office is providing consular support and is in contact with UAE officials. Under UAE law the murder charge carries a possible execution by firing squad. Advocacy group Detained in Dubai and George’s family are campaigning for bail and a fair investigation; the group has submitted mobile‑phone data and other intelligence to UK and UAE authorities, urging a forensic review. Treeby, who faced a pending drug‑trafficking trial in the UK and had prior assault convictions, was one of five people present in the apartment on the night of the stabbing. The case has heightened diplomatic concern over the treatment of foreign nationals and the use of the death penalty in the United Arab Emirates.
