NEW YORK — A Russian native was charged with poisoning a look-alike with a tranquilizer-laced cheesecake and then stealing her passport, cash and other property after trying to make it look like a suicide attempt, authorities said Wednesday. In an earlier interview with CBS, Nasyrova denied forcing the woman to eat the cheesecake. In August 2016, Nasyrova, visited the Forest Hills, Queens, home of the 35-year-old victim bearing a gift of a cheesecake, said Brown. “The woman ate the cheesecake, fell ill and laid down,” Brown said. Nasyrova also is accused of drugging and killing a woman in her native country before fleeing to New York.
