NEW YORK—A Russian-born woman was sentenced to 21 years in a US prison on Wednesday for trying to kill her American lookalike with poisoned cheesecake and then stealing her identity. Viktoria Nasyrova, 47, was found guilty of attempted murder by a New York jury in February. 'A ruthless and calculating con artist is going to prison for a long time for trying to murder her way to personal profit and gain,' Queens district attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement. Nasyrova visited the home of her then 35-year-old victim in August 2016 bearing the gift of a cheesecake.
