The jury determined Nasyrova served sedative-laced cheesecake to the 35-year-old woman inside her Queens home on August 28, 2016.

Officials note at the time the two looked like each other. Both had dark hair, the same skin complexion, other similar physical traits and both spoke Russian.

The cheesecake was laced with Phenazepam, a highly potent sedative, officials say.

The Queens woman started to feel sick after eating the cheesecake. Before passing out she remembers seeing the Brooklyn woman walking around her home.

A friend found the woman passed out in her bed with pills scattered around her body.
