Shaun Lyall, aged 47, was tortured and battered to death in his home in Cleethorpes in July 2018.
Craig Whittle, 46, of Corporation Road, Grimsby, was jailed for life over the murder but jurors in his trial were told that he did not act alone and Sheffield man Abdi Ali was also involved.

Hide AdAli, 30, who is also known as Mohammed Ismail, Black Johnny, Gulaid and Madman, was born in Somalia but brought up in Sheffield, where he lived until he moved to the east coast in the summer of 2018.
He has links to Shirecliffe and Pitsmoor and has been described by detectives investigating Mr Lyall’s murder as a ‘significant suspect’.
Mr Lyall was battered with weapons including golf clubs, screwdrivers, a knife, scissors and a length of wood.
The motive for the attack is said to have been missing drugs and cash that Mr Lyall was supposed to have been looking after.

Hide AdDespite repeated appeals for Ali to come forward to assist police with their enquiries, he continues to evade arrest.
But Mr Lyall’s family runs a Facebook group where Ali’s photograph is regularly shared in the hope that somebody may recognise him and alert the police to his whereabouts.
The most recent post on the group’s page was shared earlier this week to mark Mr Lyall’s birthday.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call Humberside Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
