What would happen in this scenario?
A woman is murdered and the immediate suspect is her ex with whom she's had an acrimonious split.
The guy spends 24 hours in custody because his boss is unavailable to confirm that he was at work at the time. Meanwhile the real murderer is caught
Does he get any kind of apology, compensation etc? Or a simple, "Ok you can go now" ?

The police would need a lot more evidence than that but assuming that it did happen they would just say ok you are free to go now and would return his property he would not get any compensation as he is not entitled to any.

That is normal for the police to question the closest person to the murder victim. This happens all the time. He was only "questioned". He was not charged. Therefore, nothing can be done. The police have a right to interrogate anyone. That is their job.

Most likely...a simple okay you can go now. I wouldn't be surprised if someone said 'sorry' though. I'm pretty sure they can hold you for no reason for 24 hours without pressing any charges. If they were to hold you for more than 24 without charging you they could get in trouble.

It would be a simple "ok you can go now".
He was a suspect and could not provide an alibi so the police were warranted to keep him until their investigations were complete.

They will say, "Thank you for aiding in our inquiries" and release him.
