have ever been / ever having been

[oksuz_]

Hi,


-The accused denied ... in the vicinity of the murder scene.

-to have ever been
-ever having been

For the gap, which one is more suitable? I did not figure out, especially grammatically.

Than you in advance..

The second one is correct.

"Deny" is usually followed by an "-ing" verb form, not a full infinitive.
