They find some forensics (no mean feat after 13 months) and evidence of deeply unhealthy obsessions with guns, celebrities and women and put that evidence to court resulting in a conviction.
Contrary to what some people think the Police don't just fit up the first person they find so they can get back out and issue speeding tickets.
I'm not 100% convinced he didn't do it.

Another man who is absolutely convinced he is guilty is Nick Ross, her co-presenter on Crimewatch. I remember watching an reenactment after his last appeal failed and Ross was adamant they had convicted the right man.

I imagine he will be lucky to get anywhere near a million, apart from his loss of liberty the compensation is totted up on his potential earnings whilst inside, being as he didn't have a well payed job they would, at a guess, be looking at six times 30,000 then add that to six years lost liberty. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say he'd get arround 250,000 to 500,000.
