Killers who throttled a mother-of-nine and dumped her body in the Thames were jailed for life at the Old Bailey, last Friday.
The body of 53-year-old Catherine Mukisa, who worked in the Pear Tree Care Centre, in Sydenham, was found washed-up opposite the Tate Gallery.
Killers Kevin Phillipson, aged 23, and Gary Richardson, aged 43, of Achilles Street, New Cross, were sentenced to life with five years concurrent for the callous disposal of the body.
The careworker had rented a room from her killers just days before she died.
In a sick twist, Phillipson's lover Corinna Young, of Herbert Road, Plumstead, performed a can-can in the dead woman's knickers, the Old Bailey heard.
Young, who was found guilty of perverting the course of justice, will not be sentenced for at least a month while further psychiatric reports are completed.
