Hi, Andreas. Thank you for the reply

I haven't considered taking a look at the server side of the issue. 
Apparently, signals are not supported by openssh yet 
<https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1424>.

In the end, the solution was way simpler than I thought. I assigned the 
channel to a pty and then killed the process by sending ASCII 0x03 (CTRL-C).
