The core of the topic is a very a common but I am not satisfied.
I have a script looking for a pid and running the kill command on the pid if found.
So I chown the script to root.root and add 4755 as suid.
The script should now run with root privileges, right? Nope.
I stumbled over a nice explanatory article explaining why it ain't working due to security reasons See Vidar's Blog here
Is there a way to achieve the a code like
kill -9 3385
in the context of root?
Could an approach be to invoke a child script that has the required privileges?
linux bash root suid

You can make /bin/kill setuid root and then your system is no longer the same ;-D (protip: don't do it :)

Anyway I recommend giving sudo right to selected accounts to run the script with root privileges.
