Man who is charged in nephew’s beating death transferred to McLennan County Jail
The 22-year-old Mexia man accused of beating his 5-year-old nephew to death has been extradited to the McLennan County Jail.
Christopher Mack, and his girlfriend, 24-year-old Andrea Thomas of Lacy-Lakeview, are charged with capital murder and aggravated assault, and both being held in lieu of $525,000 bail.
Mack was arrested Monday in Limestone County, and was extradited to McLennan County Wednesday. A jail spokeswoman said Mack was re-arraigned when he arrived in McLennan County. His bail in Limestone County was $1.5 million.
Officials say Sinsear Kirvin of Mexia was beat to death by his uncle Sunday at Thomas’ Lacy-Lakeview apartment. He, and his 3- and 4-year-old brothers were hit repeatedly with a belt, officials said.
Thomas is accused of being present at the time of the assault and doing nothing to stop the beatings, call police or seek medical attention, police said.
The remaining children have been placed in foster care by Child Protective Services, until a 10 a.m. July 7 custody hearing at the 77th State District Court in Limestone County.
Sinsear, his two younger brothers and 7-year-old sister, were being watched by Mack. They live with their mother, Brandi Mack, and their great-grandmother in Mexia.

I don’t know if the man is guilty or not. A jury can decide that. But only an animal would beat a child to death.
