The family of Abdallah Adam, a Sudanese student, was unleashed in anger when a delegation of the ruling military council presented his condolences after being shot dead by security forces.
"We told them we would not accept any government official," said 23-year-old family member Bushri Adam in the aftermath of the Al-Obeid tragedy.
Four high school students and two other protesters were shot dead during a rally in the city center against the growing lack of bread and fuel.
Four protesters were shot dead Thursday in the town of Omdurman, the twin city of the capital Khartoum, during a demonstration against the killing of Al-Obeid, doctors said.
The latest killings took place as protest leaders and generals who took power after the dismissal of longtime President Omar al-Bashir in April resumed talks on a move to civilian rule.
In the narrow earthen corridor in front of Adam's house, people in mourning have packed a small tent filled with rows of white plastic chairs splashed with mud as a result of heavy rains.
"Death is a right, but what is painful is humiliation," said Adam's father, Ismail, hiding his tears-stained face for help from a handkerchief.
The dead aroused outrage throughout the country and brought international condemnation.
On Wednesday, after being kicked out of the boy's home, a high-level general accused members of the paramilitary rapid support forces feared to have opened fire on the student rally.
Jamal Omar, who chairs the security committee of the ruling military council, first stopped the baton rally by a group of RSF forces monitoring a nearby bank.
But when students threw stones, RSF members acted "individually" and opened fire on the crowd.
"We identified those who fired live bullets that led to the killing of six people," he said.
On Friday, the military council declared that nine RSF paramilitaries had been arrested for the killings in Al-Obeid.
& # 39; Broken Skull & # 39;
The doctor Mohammed Idris, a friend of Adam, told AFP that a bullet had hit the boy "under his right eye and had come out of his broken skull".
"We did not get a full report after his autopsy, but only a death certificate for his burial," he said.
On the walls surrounding the modest hospital of Al-Obeid, a portrait of 17-year-old Ahmed Abdelwahab was painted, accompanied by his nickname "Kaka", in tribute to his favorite Brazilian footballer.
"Kaka was active in the neighborhood and at school," told AFP a close Rashid Bakhit, adding that the boy "had participated in the protests while his family had no inclination policy".
The bullet that killed him crossed the right side of his abdomen and came out on the left, he said.
"Kaka's family and colleagues are devastated," he said.
Dr. Amer al-Tayeb received the bodies of the four students, along with 35 others injured during the march.
"All were hit by live ammunition, some to the head and others to the chest and legs."
& # 39; Hail of balls & # 39;
"Blood for blood, we do not want compensation," chanted women and men as they walked to Al-Obeid on Wednesday.
Many wore Sudanese flags and some held photographs of those who had been killed while they were gathering in downtown after walking into parts of the city.
Outside the hospital, student Aymen Abdelrahmen recounted Monday's bloodshed.
The 18-year-old said he was walking with his clbadmates when they were greeted by a "rain of bullets", one of which hit him in the thigh.
Standing beside him, in front of the hospital gates, his mother was watching him, his anxiety and anger were boiling.
"How can they shoot young students just singing?" she asked.
In the citadel of the city, a burial tent was also erected in front of the house of Mohammed Suleiman, 55 years old – he too was killed during Monday's march.
