Speight's partner, Torika Rawlinson, told the student newspaper Wansolwara that the original intention had been to execute members of the deposed government the night before the coup actually took place. She denied others' reports that Indo-Fijian businessmen had been involved.[2]

As of 2006 he is serving his sentence at the Naboro Maximum Security Prison.[3]

A spokesman for deposed Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry said that he would be prepared to meet with Speight in principle.[4]
