in reply to killing linux process with CGI

If you don't do some serious configuration magic, the script is run as the www or www-data user by apache, not as the owner of the script.

Which explains why you don't have the permission to kill scripts other than those with user www(-data).

scriped is owned by www-data, and process running also by www-data

You should confirm this by printing the $< and $> values from your CGI script. One is the "real" user id (in numerical form), one is the "effective" user id. I'm expecting that neither one is set to the ID you expect.
