British TikToker Brooke George could face death penalty after Dubai murder charge

Detained in Dubai says Brooke George claims she was assaulted and feared for her life before the stabbing, as her family seeks bail and consular help.

  • British TikToker Brooke George, 23, was arrested at Dubai airport and charged with premeditated murder of William Treeby, 26, in the United Arab Emirates .
  • During her second visit, George alleges the British man became 'controlling and abusive,' claiming he 'punched hard in the face and attacked' her when she demanded her passport back.
  • Fearing for her life, George grabbed a kitchen knife 'within her grasp' to defend herself, according to pressure group Detained in Dubai, before attempting to flee the UAE.
  • Held at Bur Dubai Police Station, George faces poor detention conditions and denied legal representation, according to Stirling from Detained in Dubai, who called for immediate British consular assistance.
  • George's family fights the charges amid fears she faces a firing squad if convicted, while Stirling demanded authorities investigate whether other women were victims of Treeby, who is from Kent.
