Michael Lee and Lloyd Edward Haines will each spend at least a decade behind bars for the murder of Sydney drug dealer Daniel McNulty.

McNulty was fatally stabbed during a botched robbery at Redfern in August 2014.

Lee and Haines pleaded guilty to the murder in June and were today handed a minimum term of imprisonment of 13.5 years and 11 years respectively.

Lee's then-girlfriend Harriet Wran, the daughter of former premier Neville Wran, was released from jail earlier this month after serving a two-year sentence for her role in the robbery and for harbouring, maintaining or assisting Lee after the murder.

Today, Justice Ian Harrison told the NSW Supreme Court he found Lee, 36, and Haines, 31 were each equally responsible for McNulty's death, despite Lee striking the fatal blows.

The two men had the opportunity to retreat but resorted to the use of weapons and left no regard for their victim, Justice Harrison told the court.

Following her release from prison, Wran, 28, said she intended to spend time recovering from her drug addiction.
