A woman in New York was charged with attempted murder after police said she attempted kill a friend with poisoned cheesecake and steal her identity. Viktoria Nasyrova, 42, was arraigned on Tuesday on charges that also include burglary and assault. She’s due in court on May 25, and faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted. Police said the Russian-born suspect targeted 35-year-old Olga Tsvyk because they resembled each other. “This is a bizarre and twisted crime that could have resulted in the death of a Queens woman, whose only fault was that she shared similar features with the defendant,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said, according to Fox News.
