Why not simply convict them both the same sentence - life for murder if the evidence shows they were both there when he was killed.

Does this ever happen in the UK or do people normally get away with it like this (assuming one of them is guilty)?

Nope, they both get done if it is proved they both wanted him dead. Doesn't matter who delivered the fatal blow.
