A woman in Brooklyn has been found guilty of attempted murder after trying to feed her friend a cheesecake laced with poison. Viktoria Nasyrova, 47 years old, admitted to prosecutors that since the victim, Olga Svyk, looked so much like her and also spoke Russian, she was hoping to steal Svyk’s identity and go back to Russia. Luckily, Svyk vomited and hallucinated after eating the dessert, but didn’t die. Svyk said in the courtroom Wednesday, "For her, it was an easy thing to try and take the life of another person. It was an easy thing to gain the trust of another person." Nasyrova has been sentenced to 21 in prison for the attempt on Svyk’s life.
