One of the 17-year-old attackers pleaded guilty in Brisbane's Supreme Court earlier this year.

He also pleaded guilty to burglary, assault occasioning bodily harm and malicious act with intent.

The attacker, now aged, 19, was sentenced to 14 years behind bars by Supreme Court Justice Tom Sullivan who described the mum's murder as a "particularly heinous" crime.

The second alleged intruder has not entered any pleas yet with his case listed for a hearing in Brisbane later this month.
