BOSTON (Reuters) - Three college friends of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will go on trial in June on charges they helped hide his tracks from the FBI, a U.S. judge ruled on Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock denied a joint request by prosecutors and two of the defendants - Dias Kadyrbayev of Kazakhstan and Robel Phillipos of Cambridge, Massachusetts - to put the trial off until early next year to give defence attorneys more time to sort through millions of pages of evidence surrounding the bombing investigation.
