German term or phrase: sie Aufgrund eines fünf Seiten langen Abschiedsbriefes des Ex-Soldaten, waren die Polizeibeamten aufs Schlimmste vorbereitet - und doch traf sie fast der Schlag: Bowen hatte zugegeben, seine Freundin in der Badewanne erwürgt, sie danach mehrere Male sexuell missbraucht und sie anschließend mit einem Küchenmesser und einer Handsäge verstümmelt zu haben. What does "sie" stand for in the sentence: "und doch traf sie fast der Schlag" Thanks in advance!
