Babita Deokaran was murdered in August 2021, as she was probing massive corruption at a Gauteng hospital. The subsequent investigation uncovered six people involved in the plot to kill her, but it was up to News24 journalist Jeff Wicks and the investigative team to delve into the case and find the key information.
