Three lovers covered up the stabbing death of promising young lawyer Robert Wone to protect their “powerful bond,” a prosecutor charged Monday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Glenn Kirschner told Judge Lynn Leibovitz that roommates and lovers Joseph Price, Victor Zaborsky and Dylan Ward “worked hard and fast to concoct a story and misdirect police” after Wone was stabbed to death in a posh Dupont Circle apartment the friends shared.
