A US court has convicted a Russian-born woman of trying to steal her American lookalike’s identity by feeding her poisoned cheesecake.
According to a foreign news agency, 47-year-old Nesrova Victoria has been found guilty of attempted murder by a New York jury.
The court has sentenced the woman to 25 years in prison.
According to media reports, Nesrova visited the 35-year-old victim’s home in August 2016 with a gift of cheesecake, both of whom looked similar and both spoke Russian.
Media reports say that the victim became ill after eating the cake and was found unconscious at home the next day, with bullets scattered around her making it appear that the woman had attempted suicide.
According to foreign media, the victim came home after treatment and found that her passport, employment card, jewelry and other valuables were missing.
