On the weekend, Anne O'Neill, 51 was charged with murder of her son, Mr O'Neill.
Mrs O'Neill was shot to death at her parents' Finaghy home in south Belfast.
Three papers show photographs of Mr O'Neill smiling with the woman he is accused of murdering.
The Irish News' lead story is a plea from the family of a family who fled war-ravaged Syria four year ago to stop the racist attacks.
Nabeha Arnous and Feras her husband, have four daughters. They claim that their home on Iris Street, off the Springfield Road, has been targeted by stone-throwing youngsters within the last eight months.
At one point, youngsters came into the house to shout insults Mrs Arnous says, while in the most recent incident, stones were thrown at it on Friday night.
"I would like to say, please don't hurt anyone." She demands an immediate halt to the violence.
The headline of the News Letter is "Germany can imprison IRA men, so why shouldn't they?"
Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie was reacting to the four-year sentence handed down to James Anthony Oliver Corry over a 1996 mortar attack on the UK military barracks in Germany.
Mr Beattie described himself "staggered" and "astounded" by the "scandalous" sentence however he praised the German government on being able to persevere in seeking justice through courts.
He suggested that the British government should follow suit and stop being weak.
Belfast Telegraph reveals the pace of the planning process.
It reports that an expert from Scotland has been brought in to help sort out "Belfast's planning mess".
Jim Mackinnon "has been parachuted into writing an in-depth review of the activities of the city council in response to complaints from developers who are understood be frustrated by how long it takes for city hall to process applications", it states.
Christmas decorations are popping up in a myriad of stores as winter gets closer.
However, those displayed in a place used by dissident republican groups in Londonderry - and pictured in the Belfast Telegraph - have been branded "obscene" by an DUP MP.
A snowman armed with a rocket launcher and the message "wishing you an explosive Christmas" is visible in the windows of Junior McDaid House in the city in which the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association is based.
"Most people view Christmas as a family time and republicans are equating it with terrorist acts," the DUP's Gregory Campbell tells the paper.
The Irish News and Daily Mirror both inform that Hazel Stewart, a double murderer, was ordered by the High Court to return insurance money she claimed for after killing her husband.
The move that will see her current family house sold, comes following an investigation by the National Crime Agency.
It is rare for a week to go by without another auction of Titanic memorabilia. However, very few of them feature the iceberg that was responsible for the tragedy.
However, hundreds of photos of the aftermath of the tragedy - some depicting the iceberg part of a collection to be auctioned at the Remarkable Rarities auction in Boston.
The pictures were taken by socialite Louis M Ogden who was aboard the RMS Carpathia as the tragedy unfolded.
The story is also published in the Belfast Telegraph.
A chance not to be sneezed at for those who dress well.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, some of Northern Ireland's most famous landmarks are being reconstructed in a brand new range of silk pocket squares.
It's a joint venture between tailor Christopher Suitor and artist Stephen Whalley.
Images include the Dark Hedges, the Harland and Wolff cranes and Portballintrae.
If your loved one gives you one as a Christmas present, don't turn your nose up.
