The intoxicated group, numbering over 10, attempted to rape the women at Papuan Compound in Lae.
It was the first time something like that happened to Cecilia Thomas and her husband, who have lived at Papuan Compound for over 4 decades.
They grew up there, got married and continued living there with their two children.
Thomas currently has three young women, in their early 20s, renting their rooms.
