Friday's front pages are solely focused on the verdict in the Ashling Murphy murder trial where Jozef Puska was found guilty of murdering the 23-year-old school teacher.

The i ran the same story but angled their piece on the Home Secretary’s defiant stance against the British Prime Minister, her own party and the police.
