The judge at Winchester Crown Court said the offences had an exceptionally high level of seriousness and it was rare to impose such a sentence with no chance of parole.
Desborough was also sentenced to five years on each count of preventing the lawful burial of Aquilino and Coleman, who were last seen alive on 18 April 2025 and on 3 June 2025 respectively.
In victim impact statements read out in court, Coleman and Aquilino’s families spoke of their anguish imagining the pain and fear the men suffered.
Coleman’s brother, Tony Nye, said there “weren’t enough words in the English language” to describe the pain and suffering Desborough had caused his family.
“You have taken from this world my big brother in the most disgusting and horrific way,” he said.
“The world will see you for the vile degenerate coward you are. There will be no forgiveness for you in this world or the next.”
His mother, Sandra Coleman, said: “You took my firstborn son. You destroyed any hope of us coming together as a family.
“You have given me a life sentence of pain, despair, anxiety and hopelessness.”
