The mother of a British social media influencer facing accusations of killing her boyfriend in Dubai revealed that her daughter was extremely distressed during a phone call shortly before the fatal incident.
Brooke George, a 23-year-old TikToker from Gravesend, Kent, is currently under scrutiny for the alleged murder of her 26-year-old British partner, Bill Treeby. George claims that she acted in self-defense due to enduring abuse from Treeby during their visits to the UAE and resorted to using a kitchen knife in the final encounter.
In a recent statement, George’s mother, Thereza George, expressed her concerns about her daughter’s well-being, highlighting a noticeable change in her demeanor leading up to the tragic event. She emphasized that Brooke seemed different and reserved the day before the incident, refraining from sharing the reasons behind her altered behavior.
Following an evening at a bar in Dubai, George’s mother described a distressed phone call from her daughter, portraying her as visibly terrified and emotionally distraught. Concerned for her daughter’s safety, Thereza George emphasized her belief that Brooke was desperate to escape from a troubling situation.
The unfolding events shed light on Treeby’s previous convictions for unlawful wounding and common assault in 2023, adding a layer of complexity to the case. Radha Stirling, CEO of the London-based legal advocacy group Detained in Dubai, raised suspicions of potential exploitation, hinting at a possible ruse to lure Brooke to Dubai under false pretenses.
Stirling’s call for a thorough investigation into the alleged domestic abuse claims and the need to examine electronic evidence has sparked further scrutiny into the circumstances leading to the tragic incident. The Foreign Office confirmed their involvement in the case, stating ongoing support for the detained British woman and her family, while maintaining communication with local authorities.
