Does a crime automatically trigger a copycat crime?

If it were a successful crime (like getting away with a bank heist) I think it may be more probable.
But something heinous like this? I don't know, it would take someone seriously unstable to contemplate copying this crime, and I'm not sure someone that unstable would be patient enough to try and copy something else, but I'm just guessing.

Any psych majors care to put their education on display?
