System.Diagnostics.Process.Kill() doesn't work

Hi, I have a script that starts an external process on Unity.
It runs as expected, but calling process.Kill() has no effect. The external app isn’t being terminated.

public void InitSensor () 
        {
            sensorStatus = SensorStatus.Initializing;

            pSensor = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            pSensor.StartInfo.FileName = Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/MyApp.app";
            pSensor.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
            pSensor.StartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
            pSensor.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
            pSensor.Exited += OnSensorTerminated;

            pSensor.Start();
            sensorStatus = SensorStatus.Running;
        }

        public void KillSensor()
        {
            Debug.Log("Killing Sensor...");
            if (pSensor != null)
            {
                pSensor.Exited -= OnSensorTerminated;
                try
                {
                    pSensor.Kill();
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    Debug.LogWarning(e);
                }
                finally
                {
                    pSensor.Close();
                    pSensor = null;
                    sensorStatus = SensorStatus.Exited;
                }
            }
        }

The code is as above. Am I missing something??

I usually do this to kill processes on unity (remember that the process name doesn’t necessarily mean the executable name):

using System.Diagnostics;

static void closeApp(string appProcessName) {
   Process[] workers = Process.GetProcessesByName("your app name")
   foreach (Process worker in workers)
   {
        worker.Kill();
        worker.WaitForExit();
        worker.Dispose();
   }
}
