An Russian ex-dominatrix who attempted to kill her lookalike with a poisoned cheesecake has been jailed for 21 years.
Viktoria Nasyrova, 47, was found guilty of attempted murder, with the Russian attempting to poison, kill and steal the identity of another woman in New York earlier this year.
It was said that Nasyrova had shouted "f**k you" at the judge upon hearing the sentence.

Melinda Katz, the district attorney for the Queens district, has since gone on to call Nasyrova a "ruthless and calculating con artist" who had attempted to murder a lookalike.
That lookalike, an unnamed 35-year-old victim, was delivered a poisoned cake in August 2016, which at the time was presented as a gift for the victim.
Attorney Katz said: "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."
At the time of the crime the pair had not only resembled one another but also spoke Russian and shared a collection of physical traits.
The victim, who had the same colour hair and same skin complexion as Nasyrova, had fallen ill after eating the cheesecake and was found unconscious the next day by her friend.

A prosecutor has also revealed pills were scattered across the floor in the apartment to make it look as though the victim had tried to kill herself, The Guardian reported.
But the woeful series of events did not stop there for the victim, who returned from hospital only to find her passport and employment authorization card were missing.
It was alleged that con artist Nasyrova had also stolen jewellery and other values from the apartment while her victim was in the hospital recovering from the tampered-with cake.
Police tested the cake and found it was laced with the highly potent sedative phenazepam, which was ingested by Nasyrova's victim.
The 47-year-old Russian national was convicted of assault, unlawful imprisonment and theft along with the attempted murder charge.
