Metson, 28, tried to cover up the killing by buying large amounts of cleaning products and enlisting his school friend Joshua Hancock to help move the body parts to the River Witham in Bassingham by offering him £50 to help with a “job”, Lincoln crown court heard.

[…]

On Monday, he was jailed for life, with a minimum sentence of 19 years and 316 days.

[…]

Hancock was arrested on 5 April and charged with obstructing a coroner. He admitted the charge, as well as unrelated offences of attempting sexual communication with a child and drug offences. He was jailed for three years and three months.

The man, 28-year-old Nicholas Metson, originally denied murdering wife Holly Metson (née Bramley) when her body was found in the village of Bassingham in 2023, according to Lincolnshire Police.

soulless eyes - there's just nothing there

200 pieces.. 200. To fit in sandwich bags?

Yes, the UK isn't very tough on prison sentences, sadly.
It's a joke.
<modsnip - off topic>

Here I can only guess that they could ‘t prove the killing was premeditated.

Sentences for ‘domestic killings’ are always a lot more lenient in UK, showing little respect for domestic abuse victims and their families imo.
