Casey Mullen was found dead at home in Oak Tree Crescent, Gipton, Leeds, on Sunday, following a disturbance outside the house.
Her uncle, Michael Patrick Mullen, 21, will appear at Leeds Magistrates Court on Thursday morning.
A post-mortem examination showed Casey died from "compression to the neck".
On Tuesday afternoon, magistrates granted police an extra 36 hours to question Mr Mullen, who was arrested on Sunday.
Two other men aged 19 and 20, who had been arrested in connection with the inquiry, have been released without charge.
What's wrong with people?
How long have you got????
I hope the man responsible burns in the fires of Hell for all eternity.
I'm sure we didn't have men like this 20 or 30 years ago.
I think we probably did but we didn't hear about it as the reporting / media wasn't then like it is now.

I think that's right - a lot probably got hushed up.
But then this is the second case of the rape of a baby this year.
The first case you are referring to was (I think) the one committed by a man from my hometown. He was in my sister's class at school.
Good grief - what kind of characters are they hoping to build?
One boy (aged 2) was told not be be "a wimp or a faggot" and to hit a girl (aged 3) - the BBC news link here:

It's so vile
I know you have to teach your kids to take care of themselves but this is beyond the pale.
I would be ashamed to be that kind of parent.
