Shame on the Independent for this kind of shoddy journalism on North Korea

"It is understood that the manager was shot shortly after this visit, the Daily NK reports, citing multiple sources." But wait: the Independent asked an expert to confirm the story: "The bizarre story sounds even too extreme for the heavy-handed and authoritarian North Korean state, but Professor Remco Breuker, an expert in Korean studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands, told The Independent that it's likely the story is true.  "There's a good chance this happened," he said."  Do they teach this method of documentation at Western journalism schools these days?
