A Tasmanian man who shot his friend in an execution-style killing, dismembered his body and disposed of it in wheelie bins will spend up to 32 years in jail.
Jack Harrison Vincent Sadler, 29, was found guilty earlier this month of murdering 24-year-old Jake Anderson-Brettner in August 2018.
Sadler lined a room his Launceston home with plastic before shooting Mr Anderson-Brettner several times in the chest and when he was on the ground.
Mr Anderson-Brettner's torso was discovered in bushland off a highway about 40 kilometres out of the city several days later.
"This was a planned, intentional, execution-style killing," Justice Robert Pearce said during sentencing in the Launceston Supreme Court on Friday.
Sadler's then-partner Gemma Clark bought plastic, disposable gloves, goggles, overalls and a saw prior to the murder.
She also purchased cayenne pepper and chilli powder which was used to disguise the smell of decomposing body parts.
Sadler used a "chopping implement" like an axe or knife to cut up Mr Anderson-Brettner's body.
He then drove around Launceston with Clark and disposed of the body parts in bins. They have never been found despite extensive searches.
Sadler's jail sentence was backdated to August 2018 and he will be eligible for parole after serving 20 years.
Mr Anderson-Brettner was last seen alive driving his Nissan Navara ute in Launceston on August 15.
His torso was discovered four days later, sparking a murder investigation and police and SES search of the city's tip.
