“The trial was built on the fact that I tried to kill this woman because we look alike and I want to steal her identity,” Nasyrova argued. “But she is not a US citizen, she doesn’t have a green card, she doesn’t have any rights … what is the point for me to try to kill this woman?”
Tsvyk, 35, told the New York Post that Nasyrova got her just desserts.
“Yeah, I planted the Phenazepam,” Tsvyk said sarcastically. “I poisoned myself, and all those other people also drugged themselves. Yet she is the one in jail … she is lying about everything.”
She said she hopes Nasyrova remains locked up.
“She’s a very dangerous person, a scary person,” she said. “She is a manipulator and a liar. I thank God that she can’t do what she’s been doing to people anymore, although who knows what she’s doing in jail. She is capable of anything.”
“I hope they don’t let her out early, lest she come after me,” Tsvyk added.
Nasyrova, who has taken up painting and drawing since entering the Westchester County lockup this spring, said she finds little in common with her fellow convicts.
“I don’t want to sound like I’m better than others, although in some ways I am,” Nasyrova said. “But to find a person on your intellectual level. … It’s hard to find people here that I can really communicate with. I want to talk about art, culture, travel, books.”
She told the outlet that her “so-called ‘signature’ work” is making letters of people’s names using butterflies and other objects in 3-D.
“You would be very surprised,” she continued. “I get an enormous amount of pleasure from seeing people’s faces when I give them what they ordered from me — nobody ever expects it. I can call what I make, without false modesty, works of art … Even for me, they look like little miracles.”
Despite the new-found hobby, Nasyrova said she’s constantly “on edge all the time.”
“I wasn’t like that before. In jail, you get the sense that something is about to happen any moment. You can be eating and then the next minute someone next to you is fighting. … I can’t relax,” she said.
