Campaign group Detained in Dubai has now submitted what it describes as relevant information and intelligence to UK and UAE authorities.
The Sun understands that there were five people at Treeby’s apartment on the night of the incident – Brooke, Treeby, two of his friends and a maid.
It is understood at least one of the friends contacted people in Britain shortly after Treeby’s death.
Campaigners believe those calls, together with information stored on the men’s mobile phones, could help establish a timeline of events, identify further witnesses and preserve evidence before it is lost.
One of the men present at the apartment is also understood to be wanted by Kent .
Treeby himself had been due to stand trial at Maidstone Crown Court accused of conspiracy to supply cocaine following a Kent Police County Lines and Gangs Team .
He was one of seven defendants charged in the case. One of the men who shared his flat in Dubai was also charged alongside Treeby.

Radha Stirling, chief executive of Detained in Dubai, said the organisation had submitted intelligence to “the appropriate UK authorities, the Foreign, & Development Office, the UAE authorities and His Excellency Mansoor Abdullah Khalfan Juma Abulhoul, the UAE Ambassador to the .”
She added: “Given the gravity of the proceedings and the potential consequences Brooke George faces, we believe it is imperative that every appropriate avenue is explored to ensure that all relevant information is properly considered.
“We are also engaging with Brooke’s local Member of in Kent to seek support in ensuring that every available investigative and forensic avenue is pursued.
“Where a young British citizen is facing the possibility of the death penalty overseas, there must be a diligent, impartial and comprehensive , with every reasonable effort made to identify, preserve and examine relevant evidence.
“Justice cannot depend upon incomplete evidence or overlooked lines of enquiry.
“Every potentially relevant fact should be subjected to proper forensic examination so that the court is able to reach its decision on the basis of the fullest and most reliable evidence available.
“Nothing less is acceptable where a person’s life may ultimately be at stake.”
Campaigners say anyone in Britain who received calls from the apartment in the hours after Treeby’s death should be interviewed, while any available mobile phone evidence should be secured before it can be deleted or lost.
Kent Police was asked to comment.
