A look at what's making headlines in local newspapers this Saturday

These are the leading stories making front-page headlines in Malta this Saturday.

Times of Malta reports on widespread power cuts across several localities, which Enemalta claims are unrelated. It also covers testimony in the Yorgen Fenech trial regarding payments made to Caruana Galizia hitmen after their arrest.

The Malta Independent leads with a Europol expert's technical testimony regarding the bomb that killed Daphne Caruana Galizia and reports on a tragic accident in which a 74-year-old man was killed between a truck and a mechanical shovel in Dingli. 

L-Orizzont highlights the implementation of two major laws concerning the rights and autonomy of persons with disabilities and reports on the death of an elderly man following a workplace accident in Dingli.

In-Nazzjon focuses on court details revealing that up to 400 grams of military-grade explosives were used in the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, alongside the Nationalist Party’s criticism of recent power outages.
