Saturday's front pages focus on a range of stories, from the Defence Forces quietly retiring its fleet of 27 light armoured vehicles to a man being given life in prison for the murder of Bruna Fonseca.

The Irish Times reports that the Defence Forces quietly retired its fleet of 27 light armoured vehicles after they proved “disastrous” in the field.

The Irish Examiner reports that the Brazilian family of the 28-year-old woman whose former boyfriend was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder were not driven by hate but by love and the search for justice.

The Echo leads with tributes from TDs, mayors and councillors to former MEP Brian Crowley, who died at CUH in the early hours of Friday morning, after a long illness.
