Sentencing delayed for Viktoria Nasyrova in attempted cheesecake poisoning of lookalike
NEW YORK -- A sentencing hearing was postponed Tuesday for a Brooklyn woman convicted of trying to kill her lookalike with a poisoned cheesecake.
A jury found Viktoria Nasyrova guilty last month. Prosecutors said she hoped to kill Olga Svyk in 2016 with a cheesecake laced with a potentially fatal drug in an attempt to steal Svyk's identity and return to Russia.

Nasyrova faces up to 25 years in prison.
Her sentencing has been pushed to April 18.
