And in San Pedro, a woman has been left traumatized after she had to escape her ex-husband, who she believes was trying to kill her. 30 year old Sabela Brakeman was at home when, around 2:30 in the morning, her ex-husband broke into her home, beat her, and forced her on a jet ski heading to Caye Caulker. He threatened her life and to save herself, Brakeman had to jump into the water and swim to shore in Caye Caulker to get help.
