Two former policemen are accused of killing Rio de Janeiro councilwoman Marielle Franco .
Ronnie Lessa and Élcio Queiroz have signed plea bargains confessing their roles.
Franco , 38 , and her driver, Anderson Gomes , were killed in a drive-by shooting on March 14, 2018 .
Two brothers have been accused of ordering the killing, allegedly because Franco 's work went against the interests of militias.
The motivation of the crime was “undoubtedly’s work regarding land rights,” he said.
Marielle ’s mandate (was) a thorn in the side of militia interests, especially in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro , he added.
Anielle Franco , Marielle 's sister, said today was a “mixture of feelings”.
