The Libyan Civil War: Critical Views: Khamis Brigade Shed Massacre: The Dead Outside the...: November 15, 2011 (incomplete - last edit Jan. 2 2012) << The Tripoli Massacres      
For reference, I'll assign each victim a number, in order of presentation, apparent basic skin tone (black/light) in parentheses:
Matress victims
1 just outside (black)
2 feet tied (light)
3 face shot/smashed (black)
CBCvictims
4 face buried (light)
5 plastic sheet (black)
6 leg rotting, skeleton face (black)
individual victims, the man...
7 by the toppled wall (black)
8 on the stairs (black)
9 in the house (unclear, black?)

An alternative explanation, however, would be that the rebels massacred their prisoners on Friday evening after the battle and tried to pin the crime on Gadhafi's forces. But on Saturday evening, one of the bodies lying outside was swarming with thousands of tiny maggots, which would be impossible if the man had only been killed the day before.
