Friday, June 26, 2026 - A 23-year-old British influencer, Brooke George, has been charged with murder Dubai after allegedly st@bbing a man she met online.
According to reports, Brooke, who is from Gravesend, Kent,
was arrested in the early hours of Monday and is currently being held by
authorities in Dubai.
The influencer reportedly travelled to Dubai after
developing an online relationship with the 26-year-old man. She claimed her
first visit to the country went well, but alleged that things changed during a
second trip when the man became controlling and abusive.
Brooke alleges she discovered he had only booked her a
one-way ticket and that she was trying to leave and return home.
She is accused of fatally st@bbing the man but maintains
that she acted in self-defence after being repeatedly assaulted and fearing for
her safety.
Her mother, Thereza, said she spoke to her daughter shortly
after the incident and described her as terrified and crying uncontrollably.
She also claimed Brooke appeared to have a badly swollen eye.
A spokesperson for campaign group Detained in Dubai said
Brooke's injuries and allegations of abuse should be fully investigated,
insisting she should also be viewed as a potential victim of violence.
The case has attracted international attention as
authorities continue their investigation. Brooke remains in custody awaiting
further legal proceedings.
