Students of Hope and Resurrection Secondary School on Monday asked Western Lakes State authorities when to protect them from insecurity and rampant killings of innocent lives.
The question came after the killing of fellow students and two Ugandan teachers on Sunday afternoon 13 miles away, Good News Radio reports.
They were killed while returning from Rumbek town to Atiaba where they were working.
Addressing the mourners at Holy Family Cathedral of late Charles Kule and Willis Herbert, the students condemn the act.
They call on the state government to carryout proper disarmament to end killing of scholars.
The learners describe late Charles Kule and Binsiima Willis as heroes in South Sudan for accepting to provide knowledge to upcoming generation.
Rumbek Catholic Diocesan Coordinator Monsignor John Mathiang Manchol appeals to the government to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Western Lakes Minister of Information Majak Ror, while calming grieving students, says their forces are working hard to make sure culprits are apprehended.
The killing of School Deputy Principal Charles Kule and Willis Herbert Binsiima is a great lost to the people of Western Lakes State, he notes.
Last year a student of Hope and Resurrection was killed by unknown armed men in Western Lakes State and no arrest has been made.
The bodies of the deceased were transported to Uganda on Wednesday.
