The Irish Times reports that the pair will serve between seven months and 30 months in prison over the killing of Mr Corbett in August 2015.
The Irish Examiner, Irish Independent, Irish Daily Mail, Irish Daily Mirror and Irish Daily Star lead with a quote from Jason Corbett's son, who described Ms Martens as a "monster".
The Belfast Telegraph reveals that the new PSNI chief rang a former officer who won a sex discrimination case to tell her “lessons will be learned” from her treatment in the force.
The pro-Palestine march planned in London on Sunday continues to dominate Britain’s front pages.
