Officers in the Kent force visited the site last week after a fatal attack on Sukhdev Singh Sangha, 35, of Havelock Road, Northfleet, Kent, on Friday 15 October.
A spokesman for Kent police said Rasphal Singh Shaota, 34, of Stanbrook Road, Gravesend, Kent, had been charged with murder. He was remanded in custody for seven days by magistrates in the town on 22 October.
Site sources said that, in addition to being a Kvaerner employee, Sangha was also a director of a labour supplier that had been working on the rail link.
Kvaerner was the subject of a British Transport Police investigation into fraud on the CTRL earlier in the year. A British Transport Police spokesperson told 黑洞社区 that three Kvaerner employees had been charged with conspiracy to deceive.
He added: 鈥淭he allegation is that those charged had manufactured bogus employees on the project that did not exist. They are due to appear in court next week.鈥�
Kvaerner confirmed that the deceased had been an employee of the company. A spokesman said: 鈥淭he incident happened away from the site and we believe it had nothing to do with our site. It is a police matter and we cannot comment beyond that.

Kvaerner Spokesman
When asked why the police had visited Kvaerner鈥檚 CTRL site, the spokesman said: 鈥淚 am sure they have visited the site, but I cannot comment on what they did. He worked there.鈥�
The spokesperson added: 鈥淲ith reference to your subsequent question regarding Kvaerner employees being charged by British Transport Police, this is not true. There are no Kvaerner employees due in court.鈥�
However, sources in Kent police said: 鈥淜vaerner had sacked the three people charged after their arrest.
Police confirmed that a number of people had been held in custody in connection with Sangha鈥檚 death but were not charged. According to a statement released by Kent police: 鈥淲e have questioned four other men in connection with the incident. We are still investigating and our inquires are continuing.鈥�
Rail Link Engineering, the consortium that is project managing the multibillion-pound scheme, declined to comment.
But an RLE spokesman said supply issues on the site were the concern of Kvaerner.
