A Brooklyn woman was indicted for poisoning her look-alike with a piece of cheesecake in an attempt to steal her identity, the Queens district attorney said Wednesday.
Viktoria Nasyrova, 42, of Sheepshead Bay, allegedly gave a piece of cheesecake laced with phenazepam, a Russian drug, to her friend and look-alike in Queens on Aug. 28, 2016, District Attorney Richard Brown said.
Nasyrova staged the woman in her bedroom, scattering pills around her to make it look like she tried to kill herself, and then allegedly took the woman’s passport, an employment authorization card, a gold ring and cash, according to the indictment.
