Mr O'Neill is accused of the murder of his mother 51-year-old Anne O'Neill at the weekend.

Three papers show photos of Mr. O'Neill smiling with the woman he's accused of murdering.

Nabeha Arnous and her husband, Feras, who have four daughters, say that their home on Iris Street off the Springfield Road has been targeted by stone and bottle throwing youngsters in the last eight months.
On one occasion , children came into the house to shout insults, Mrs Arnous says, and in the latest incident stones were thrown at it on Friday night.
"I would like to say, please don't hurt anyone." She requests an immediate stop to the violence.
"Germany can jail IRA men, so why can't we" is the headline on the front page of the News Letter.
Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie was reacting to the four-year prison sentence handed to James Anthony Oliver Corry over the 1996 mortar attack on a UK military barracks in Germany.

Mr. Beattie said he was "staggered" by the "scandalous sentence" and was "astonished" at its severity. However, he praised Germany for having persevered in seeking justice through the courts.
He said that the British government should follow suit and stop being weak.
The pace of the planning process in Belfast is revealed in the Belfast Telegraph.
It is reported that an expert from Scotland has been brought in to help sort out "Belfast's planning mess".
Jim Mackinnon has "been parachuted into the city to write a high-level review of the city council's work after complaints from developers who are believed to be dissatisfied with how long it takes city hall to review applications" According to the report.
As winter approaches Christmas decorations are already popping up in a variety of shops.
A DUP MP, however, criticized the "obscene" display in a Londonderry building used by dissident republican group - as pictured in The Belfast Telegraph - as offensive.
A snowman armed with a rocket launcher and a message "wishing you an explosive Christmas" is displayed in the window of Junior McDaid House in the city in which the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association is headquartered.
"Most people view Christmas as a time for family and republicans are comparing it with terrorism," the DUP's Gregory Campbell informs the newspaper.
The Irish News and Daily Mirror both have reports that Hazel Stewart, a double murderer, has been ordered by the High Court to return insurance funds she claimed after she killed her husband.
The move that will see her current family home sold, comes after an investigation by the National Crime Agency.
A week rarely passes by without another auction featuring Titanic memorabilia from the Titanic. However, only a handful auctions showcase the iceberg that led to the tragedy.
However, hundreds of photos of the aftermath of the tragedy - some of which show the iceberg part of a collection that will be auctioned at the Remarkable Rarities auction in Boston.
The pictures were taken by a socialite Louis M Ogden who was on the RMS Carpathia at the time the tragedy unfolded.
The story is also featured in the Belfast Telegraph.
Finally, an opportunity not to be missed for those who dress well.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, some of Northern Ireland's most iconic landmarks are being restored in a new range of silk pocket squares.
It's a joint venture with tailor Christopher Suitor, and artist Stephen Whalley.
