She returned to Britain but went missing from the family home in Warrington in September 2003.
Her parents were arrested in connection with the murder but police were unable to find enough evidence to prosecute.
However the breakthrough came in 2010 when another of their daughters, Alesha, was arrested for organising a robbery at the family home.
Under questioning she confessed to police that she had witnessed her parents attack and kill her older sister.
Both parents denied murder claiming they believed Shafilea had run away from home.
But part way through the trial, Farzana, 49, changed her account claiming she had seen her husband attack Shafilea in the kitchen of their home.
She told the jury she had tried to intervene but her husband had attacked her.
Iftikhar Ahmed stood impassively as the verdicts were given, while his wife wiped tears from her eyes with a tissue.
Their children Junyad, Mevish and the youngest, who cannot be named for legal reasons, all broke down in tears.
Mevish Ahmed put her head in her hands and wept as the judge began discussing sentencing.
