He is expected to appear before Dungannon Magistrates' Court via videolink on Saturday.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman died after she was found inside a burning car at Quarry Road in Knockloughrim on October 12.
The investigation was launched after the incident early on Tuesday morning when police received a report of the car on fire outside a property.
The woman in her 50s was taken to hospital and died later that evening.
