The charred body of 56-year-old Low Foong Meng was found by fire-fighters after they put out a blaze in the law office situated on the sixth floor of Afro Asia Building.
Govindasamy Nallaiah is accused of killing Mdm Low in an office belonging to B Rengarajoo & Associates.
The law firm is run by Low's partner, lawyer Rengarajoo Balasamy, whom she lived with.
Low had also helped Mr Rengarajoo with his administrative work at the office.
It's believed that Govindasamy was one of the lawyer's clients.
The small-sized, bespectacled Govindasamy kept his head bowed when the charge was read out to him.
He is now remanded at the Central Police Division and will be back in court next Friday.
Three men and a woman, believed to be Govindasamy's family were present in court but they rushed off and refused comment when reporters approached them.
If convicted of murder, Govindasamy will face the death penalty.
