The 32-year-old, of John Beeley Avenue, will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court today (March 28). Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for further details on the charge.
Following his death, Zikel's family paid a heartfelt tribute to him. They said his youngest child was just six weeks old.
His family said: "Zikel was many things to many people, he was a good friend, a hard-working colleague, part of a large extended family, but ultimately, he was his mother’s son, her pride and joy. He held the heart of his girlfriend in his hand and was a hands on father to his beloved children, the youngest just six weeks old.
"Zikel was happy and fulfilled, he was working hard to provide for his family and was never more content than when he was spending time with them. It is difficult to comprehend that Zikel has died under such tragic circumstances and the shock is profound.
"We are devastated beyond belief and find it hard to comprehend life without him. We would like to thank everybody for their kind words and the comfort their support has given us and respectfully ask for some privacy at this difficult time."
