Close Handle after Duplicate

I was trying to close a handle to a Mutex of an extern process. Therefore I tried to use DuplicateHandle from the Win32API as seen in this thread.

Closing the handle on the target process works. Closing it after duplicating it to my current process however does not. Strangely it also seems to duplicate the handle twice!

Am I using the wrong Handle IP here?

IntPtr ipHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
                Win32API.DuplicateHandle(Process.GetProcessById(handle.ProcessID).Handle, handle.Handle, Win32API.GetCurrentProcess(), out ipHandle, 0, false, Win32API.DUPLICATE_CLOSE_SOURCE);
                Win32API.CloseHandle(ipHandle);

My target process is a 64-bit applicaton.

EDIT: Just to clarify. I want to close the duplicated handle or if somebody has an idea for a simplified version of closing a handle on another process.

You have a handle leak: getObjectTypeName() function duplicates the handle it is passed but never closes the duplicate.

That extra handle will be keeping the mutex alive, even though the target process no longer has a handle to it.
