It's absolutely sickening
The couple have both lodged appeals with Bristol Crown Court, the final decision will be made by the Court of Appeal.
A spokeswoman for Bristol Crown Court said: "We have received a request from both Shauna Hoare and Nathan Matthews.
"This request is for us to send their directions their to the Court of Appeal.
"Nathan Matthews request came in today and Shauna Hoare's request came in on December 1."
Matthews and Hoare are appealing their convictions
The Court of Appeal confirmed it has already received Hore's application.
The killers had 28 days from the conviction date to appeal with Matthews missing the deadline.
The Royal Courts of Justice will decide whether there are suitable grounds for him to appeal or not.
Matthews, 28, suffocated 17-year-old Becky at her home in Bristol on February 19.
Hoare, 21, was at the address at the time and over the next three days Becky's body was dragged to the couple's home where Matthews dismembered Becky's body.
Becky's remains were found in a garden shed
Her remains were discovered in suitcases, bags and a blue box in the shed at Barton Court.
A post-mortem revealed Becky was suffocated during a "violent struggle" and suffered 15 stab wounds and a slash across her stomach, after her death.
Hoare claimed she knew nothing of Matthews' actions and that she had no involvement in Becky's death or hiding her body.

The killers have never expressed any remorse for Becky's death.
Becky's father Darren Galsworthy, said: "We shouldn't have to go through this again.
"It's a kick in the teeth."
Speaking of Hoare, he added: "Considering the evidence against her, I can't believe she is doing this.
"It's absolutely sickening."
