Kathleen Salmond and Kevin Flanagan were convicted of the murder of Lisa Bennett 39.
They drowned her in a bath at their home in Weirbrook Close in Weoley Castle and then dumped her body in a wheelie bin on or around 9 May 2013.
Lisa Bennett's murder was unsolved for a number of years.
Lisa Bennett disappeared from her home in May 2013. She was homeless and was a drug addict.
Her family reported her missing to the police two weeks after she vanished.
The police later said that they thought that she was dead but didn't know how she died but thought that she met her death soon after she went missing. Her body has not been found.
She was last seen at a Lloyds Pharmacy in Bristol Road, Selly Oak on 9 May 2013 where she had collected her prescription for a heroin substitute.
Her bank accounts have not been accessed since May 2013.
In 2014 a man was arrested on suspicion of her murder but later released.
It was thought that she might have been staying at a flat in Abdon Avenue, Selly Oak for a while before she went missing and in June 2014 the police carried out a full search of it.
Lisa Bennett was 5ft 8ins tall, with short dark brown hair and had a tattoo of a flower on her right shoulder.
In February 2019 Kathleen Salmond and Kevin Flanagan were arrested and charged with her murder.
It was heard that they had killed her and then disposed of her body in a wheelie bin and then continued to claim her benefits. Lisa Bennett's body had been taken away by the rubbish men and incinerated at a waste disposal plant and her remains have not been found.
After the murder, Kathleen Salmond called the Department for Work and Pensions and pretended to be Lisa Bennett and arranged for £230 to be paid into her own account between 8 and 31 May, 2013.
Kevin Flanagan also used Lisa Bennett's phone to make it look like she was still alive.
The court heard that Kevin Flanagan had told his brother that Lisa Bennett had 'died from an overdose'.
At the sentencing the judge said 'The callousness and cruelty of their actions was breathtaking. They purported to be Lisa's friends, but killed her and left her in a wheelie bin'.
