I would suggest a different Step 1. Instead of killing power, simply isolate the affected machine. This might be as simple as putting up a firewall rule or two, if it is simply sending outgoing SMTP spam, or
it's probably easiest (depending on the network gear of course) to just put the lan port into an isolated VLAN. It's not the 100% solution (some badness rm's itself once it loses connectivity to the internets) but it'd make things simpler for the client/LEA when they need to figure out what happened.
