Sahil Sharma, 23, is alleged to have murdered Mehak Sharma at an address in Ash Tree Way on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said.
He will appear at Wimbledon Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. Ms Sharma is believed to have been an Indian national who arrived in the UK recently. Her next of kin have been informed and formal identification awaits.
A post-mortem examination will take place on Tuesday. Anyone with any information has been asked to call the police on 101 quoting CAD 4546/29OCT.
It is believed a couple, living there with a child, bought the three-bedroomed terraced home for £445,000 in July and had been renting out rooms.
A neighbour said: “There was a police helicopter and armed officers. It was chaos." Another neighbour said: “There was pandemonium last night, there were police everywhere. They kicked the door open of the house where it happened."
A 23-year-old suspect was arrested at the property but was taken to hospital for treatment to a minor head injury
