What the papers say - April 7

Several prominently feature the decision to not charge a pensioner over the death of a burglar in a botched raid at the retiree's south-east London home.
Several papers declare it as a "victory for common sense", including The Sun, which says 18,000 of its readers signed a petition in support of Richard Osborn-Brooks, 78.
