The Serious Fraud Office says it's close to deciding whether charges will be laid against Mike and Jackie Bradley.
Dominion Post
The Dominion Post reports diplomatic cables reveal New Zealand officials in India expect a terrorist attack on a soft target ahead of the Commonwealth Games in October.
Cables obtained under the Official Information Act, emerged a day after Olympic Committee chief executive Mike Stanley told athletes to pack their bags for New Delhi.
And there's coverage of Wednesday's farewell to Lieutenant Tim O'Donnell, the first New Zealand soldier killed in Afghanistan.
The Press
In an exclusive report in The Press, the Chief Coroner says suicides should be more widely reported because the number of New Zealanders taking their own lives is 50% higher than the road toll.
Judge Neil MacLean says New Zealand's suicide rate gets little attention in comparison with the road toll, even though significantly more people die.
Also on the front page: two customs officers sacked because they reportedly leaked concerns about a gay officer at Christchurch international airport have got their jobs back.

In other news: southern National MPs are being told to brace for some hard questions if the Serious Fraud Office fails to prove South Canterbury businessman Allan Hubbard committed fraud.
And the search is on for the ashes of cricket legend Bert Sutcliffe. When Sutcliffe died in 2001, some of his ashes were interred at Carisbrook.
Now that the ground is closing, officials and his family want to move them to the University Oval.
The only problem? No one can remember exactly where the internment took place.
