A Brooklyn femme fatale with a deadly past was busted for poisoning a look-alike friend with a tainted piece of cheesecake in a foiled plot to steal her identity, authorities charged.
Raven-haired suspect Viktoria Nasyrova, 42, was jailed without bail for serving up the deadly dessert — and then creating a cover-up scene that looked like a suicide, according to authorities.
“This is a bizarre and twisted crime that could have resulted in the death of a Queens woman — whose only fault was that (they) shared similar features,” said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
Authorities said Nasyrova brought the cake laced with phenazepam, a powerful Russian-made tranquilizer, when paying an Aug. 28, 2016, visit to Olga Tsvyk at her Forest Hills home.
The 35-year-old Tsvyk, in addition to a taste for cheesecake, shared the same complexion and dark hair as Nasyrova — and both women spoke Russian.
Tsvyk became sick and passed out after the sugary murder try, with a friend discovering the unconscious victim a day later.
Authorities said Tsvyk was dressed in lingerie with pills scattered around her bed in an apparent effort to convince investigators that she had committed suicide.
Only after she recovered from the overdose did Tsvyk discover that Nasyrova had made off with her passport, employment authorization card, a gold ring and cash, officials said.
A test of the leftover cheesecake revealed the dessert was drugged, with authorities finally tracking the suspect down on March 20.
A Queens grand jury just returned a 10-count indictment accusing Nasyrova of attempted murder, burglary, assault, reckless endangerment and other charges.
Nasyrova fled to New York after dodging a 2014 murder rap in the death of Alla Aleksenko, 54, whose burned body was uncovered in a western Russia grave.
