Journalist Liz Kennedy takes a look at what is making the headlines in Tuesday's morning newspapers.
Violence on the streets is something of a chilling theme this morning.
"Kicked 60 times", says the Irish News headline, recounting the details given in video-taped evidence at Antrim Crown Court, by a key witness in the Michael McIlveen murder trial on Monday.
A friend of the murdered Ballymena teenager described how a gang stood over the 15-year-old, kicking Michael about the head and body, as one of them hit him with a baseball bat.
The witness said he had helped Michael home and offered to phone for an ambulance, but his friend had refused saying: "It's alright, my ma's in there."
The Daily Mirror also has a report of a street killing, with a backpacker shot dead in Argentina said to be from Northern Ireland.
Harry Christopher, 28, was reportedly shot five times in the back, in a suburb of Buenos Aires.
Meanwhile, another victim of local city-centre violence is still said to be "fighting for his life."
Taxi-driver Jeremy Mooney from Bangor, pictured on the front of the News Letter, was assaulted in Belfast on Friday night, whilst on his way to a concert. His family maintains a vigil at his hospital bed.
But on a happier note, the red and white of Tyrone provide the lead picture stories for the Belfast Telegraph, the Mirror, the Irish News and the Irish Independent.
The last-mentioned varies from the others in showing a 13-month-old baby inside the Sam Maguire, on a visit to a Dublin hospital on Monday.
The Irish Times carries the return of the cup to Tyrone on its page three, alongside the expectation that 150,000 people will go to Kilkenny on Tuesday for the Republic's National Ploughing Championships.
The paper says that the site has dried up so much in the last few days, however, that dust is currently blowing around the 600 acres, which are staked out to be ploughed.
'Devil's Causeway'
The prime minister may also be staking out his ground at the party conference.
The Guardian says a defiant Gordon Brown is preparing to face down the Labour rebels calling for his removal, in his make or break speech in Manchester this afternoon.
According to the paper, the prime minister won't directly attack them, but will instead try to show that he has the grit, intellect and grasp of the future to take the party to a fourth term in office.
Aides are quoted as describing his speech as highly personal and serious, in contrast to what Mr Brown sees as the "shallow showmanship" of David Cameron.
So he'll speak from a lectern and not roam the stage apparently. And, according to the Daily Telegraph, 28 year-old Scotswoman Kirsty McNeill puts the speech itself into "Gordon-speak."
And finally, a local landmark has been renamed in a bit of a blunder by an airline.
If you have a bit of time on this sunny Tuesday, why don't you visit the 'Devil's Causeway'?
That's what an airline's magazine mistakenly renamed one of our most famous attractions, the World Heritage site reputedly constructed by Finn McCool.
The Irish News tells us that it was listed as one of five Top Travel Tips, by the airline, which flies into the George Best Belfast City airport, with passengers encouraged to visit Belfast and enjoy the city, before taking a "trip through the Glens of Antrim to discover the majestic Devil's Causeway".
A local spokesperson said that the mistake was made by "an employee in England, unfamiliar with Northern Ireland".
Meanwhile a spokeswoman for the National Trust, which owns the Causeway site said that they had been unaware of the presence of a devil, but "maybe it could be a new marketing opportunity?"
