The teenager was murdered in 2003 but it took eight years and a robbery at the family home before her killers were brought to justice.
We take a look at a murder that shocked a nation and a young teenager whose life was cut short so tragically.
Born on 14 July 1986 in Bradford, she grew up in Warrington, Cheshire, where she suffered physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her parents.
She first came to the attention of the authorities at the age of 10, when she and her sister Alesha briefly went missing.
When questioned about it by school staff, the teen said her parents were forcing her to do housework and domestic chores.
In Year 11, teachers and friends reported that Shafilea would attend school crying, saying her mother would slap her and throw a slipper at her.
That same summer, Shafilea had started to have relationships with boys of which her strict Muslim family disapproved.
In October 2000, she appeared in school with a cut lip and injuries to her neck which she had received from her father as her mother held her down.
However, on 10 February that year she was snatched on the street by her father and a few weeks later was dispatched on a plane to Pakistan for an arranged marriage.
She returned to the UK and spent eight weeks in hospital as a result of the damage to her throat.
But the same month, she went missing and when the alarm was eventually raised by her teachers a nationwide hunt began.

Why did Shafilea Ahmed’s parents kill her?
Shafilea’s parents Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed were briefly arrested along with other members of her family after the teen went missing but they were then released without charge.
And then in August 2010, Shafilea’s sister Alesha was arrested after an armed robbery at the family home. In the police interview, Alesha admitted she and her siblings had witnessed her parents murder Shafilea.
Iftikhar, a taxi driver, and Farzana, a housewife, were rearrested in September 2010 and a year later were charged with her murder.
