with a cheesecake laced with a potentially fatal drug so she could steal Svyk's identity, passport and other documents and return to Russia. According to prosecutors, Nasyrova visited the Queens apartment of the then-35-year-old victim in 2016, cheesecake in hand. At the time, they strongly resembled each other — both had dark hair and similar complexions — and both spoke Russian.
The district attorney said Svyk ate the cake, then vomited and hallucinated but survived, and evidence led authorities to Nasyrova. In court Wednesday, Svyk said,"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."During sentencing, the judge referred to Nasyrova as extremely dangerous.
